The "freebies" cover the $20 cost of the trip; there is a $15 meal voucher and a $15 slot machine voucher...that's $30 to cover a cost of a $20 trip...we still have space available for anyone who wants to go (view flyer)
October 19: Salem, MA - (Sold Out) Halloween is always a good time to return to the town where witchcraft was put on trial. This is not just a tour for Salem, MA, this is an event throughout the town (view flyer)

2020: Hindsight or Foresight
Today the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT, or ERA, is just one state shy of putting women's rights into the Constitution. 2/3, or 38 states, must ratify the measure for it to become an official constitutional amendment. Illinois was the 37th last year and the pressing question is which state will 'bring it home'?
