WELCOME LETTER SENT OUT ON JAN 29th!
Dear New York Area Church History ADVENTURE Participants!
On behalf of Brother Anderson and Brother Williams I want to Welcome you to the exciting experience that we are going to enjoy together in the New York area this May! My name is Jennifer Frahm and I have been assisting Brother Anderson for a couple years in coordinating tours like this for his independent company Anderson Tours, LLC. I graduated from the University of Wyoming and while I was there served in the UW Institute Presidency under Brother Anderson's direction. I will be coordinating this tour and will be sending you periodic information as we get closer to departure.
We are very excited to have you on this tour this year! Brother Anderson and Brother Williams have taken several groups on this trip to the New York area and it is filled with fun and spiritual experiences that will strengthen your testimony and your knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are in the process of making all the reservations and arrangements to make sure that this trip is the most successful yet!
would like to do baptisms and/or an endowment session in the Manhattan Temple, or the Palmyra Temple. I have attached the itinerary for the trip, please review it and let me know if you are interested. Both Temples do not have clothing rentals, for those that are wanting to do an endowment session please keep in mind that you will need to pack your clothing with you in order to participate in the Endowment.
We also need to remind you to make periodic payments from now until April 10th. ALL final payments are due no later than April 10th. It comes up pretty fast so please make sure that you make payments along the way until then. THANK YOU!
We hope that you are getting as excited as we are! Please contact me through email or talk to Brother Anderson or Brother Williams if you have any questions or concerns. I have also created a link on Anderson Tours, LLC blog which you can find at www.andersonldstours.blogspot.com and click on the New York Tour. I will post the questions and give answers to those questions on that blog as well as try to email the information out to everyone.
We are really looking forward to this unique experience with you coming up in MAY!
p.s. We will have the amazing opportunity to see Broadway's "WICKED" look for a special invitation in your email!
