Hal Costley, TSCOR Board President, is hosting a trip to the Holy Land and to Jordan’s Petra March 16-25, 2020. Several friends expressed an interest in going so he thought some Shepherd’s Center folks might also want to go with friends.
The trip is with Educational Opportunity Tours (www.EO.travelwithus.com), a tour group that has received excellent reviews from friends that have been to the Holy Land with them, including Hal’s pastor this past winter.
The trip is titled Holy Land via Jordan and is listed as Tour HL-20 Code J. You may see details at this link: http://www.eo.travelwithus.com/files/uploads/HL20J-1.pdf. The cost of the trip is around $3,650 leaving directly from Richmond. Registration requires a $100 deposit and completing the registration form on the web site. Travel insurance would be an additional $349 – $399 if desired (it is recommended).
There is no need for a visa for travel to Israel but there is for Jordan. EO Tours will arrange the Jordan visa for anyone traveling.
If you are interested in going, please let Hal know and he will send you additional information.
Call Hal if you have any questions: 804-937-6930 (cell) or 804-708-0169 (home) or email at halcostley@aol.com.

This is the only museum in the world dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the contributions of women to the Army. It tells the amazing story of female patriots who have served our nations from the American Revolution to the present.
Your tour will include a plated lunch at the very popular Half Way House Restaurant. The afternoon will be spent at historic City Point in Hopewell. This was the location of General Grant’s Headquarters during the siege of Petersburg during the Civil War. Your Tour Cost Includes round trip Motor-coach transportation, donation to the Museum, lunch, tax and gratuity for meal and driver gratuity.
The deadline to sign up is March 23, so you will want to contact the office soon. It’s going to be a great trip! For a detailed flyer, click here.
Happy hot August day to everyone –
We are now accepting credit card payments for Open University (OU) tuition. Just go to our website (TSCOR.org), and click on the Open University tab under the header picture where you will find a secure link where you can register and pay. We will also accept credit cards at OU locations during the session. Very soon we will be rolling out a link for tax-deductible donations. We will let you know when that is available. Until then, any charitable gifts can be added to your credit card tuition payment.

I’ve heard this from a few of our members and Diane, member/student and volunteer, was kind enough to send me the following write-up. Thank you Diane!
Senior passes for our national parks have been a bargain for many years, but the National Park Service’s prices for those passes are going up significantly in late August.
The cost of the “Lifetime Senior Pass”–which is $10 now–will increase to $80 on August 28, 2017. An extra $10 processing fee will be added to that charge if you order the pass online or by mail rather than going to an actual park facility. A new year-by-year senior pass will be $20 for each year.
The closest facilities that sell them are the Colonial National Historical Park in Yorktown, Prince William Forest Park (off I-95 near Washington, DC), and Shenandoah National Park. Unfortunately, none of the park facilities in our Richmond area sell lifetime senior passes. For example, Richmond National Battlefield Park does not sell them.
You can order senior passes at 1-888-ASK-USGS (1-888-275-8747), Option 1, or by mail or online.
