2010 savings on Recreation Bus Trips
Recreation director Ralph Holt and Senior Center Leader Kay vonReyn
We wish to propose a way to save about $2400.00 from the combined recreation and senior bus trips in 2010.
If the Town hires the buses for "destination -only" trips, the residents can make their checks payable directly to
the Town and partially or completely cover the cost of transportation. This would apply to trips like Mohegan
Sun, Foxwoods, and NYC shopping trips where there is no additional entertainment that requires a booking
agent.
Kay vonReyn has already gotten 3 quotes for the senior Mohegan trip on 4/22. Quotes are attached.
The best price is from Chappaqua transportation ($980.00 for 47 passenger bus) Happily they will not require
a deposit in advance. They will bill us after the trip.
We recommend charging seniors $25.00. $25.00 x 42 passengers (the trip average) =$1050. There is
potential $50 profit — even more if the bus is full (it was last year.)
Please let us know at your earliest convenience if you want us to pursue this option, so we can book the bus
and publish our annual schedule.
The only potential glitch we see in the future is that the company with the winning quote might require a partial
deposit in advance to hold the bus.

Hello Kay,
Scheduling the bus is really a very simple process, you would just give me a call or email
with
the date you are looking for and then I would contact the casino to schedule your groups
arrival.
The cost of the 47px would be $980.00 and the 55px would be $1064.00. Mohegan Sun
has
been offering the same bus package for quite some time now, it is $10 meal/buffet
voucher and
$10 free bet. However, they do reserve the right to change the package at any time.
Should you
have any questions or need further details, please call me at any time (845) 896-2012.
Please check out the "destination" page on our website at
http://www.chappaauabus.com/destination _links
I set it up so that our group leaders could have a place to check out all kinds of great trip
possibilities.
Thank You,
Melissa Strang -Fitzgibbon
