Dear Little Traveler,
I work at a school in the northwest suburbs around 45 minutes from Geneva. The tradition of spending the day at The Little Traveler started with just two of us. We make two trips a year—one in October on Columbus Day and another in June. Our group has now grown to six or seven ladies for a day of fun and shopping. Every time we start to drive to Geneva one of the ladies tells us how as a child, she performed in the Swedish Days Festival, singing Swedish songs with the Varblommans Children’s Club. As we ride to Geneva, she entertains us with a Swedish song which gets us all laughing and sets the mood for the day. This time together twice a year away from the work place lets us unwind and really get to know one another as friends, not just co-workers. The memories will always be cherished. Talking about all the fun we had is what has made our group grow and hopefully keep growing. Thank you for having us to your beautiful home twice a year.
Sincerely,
Barbara Ruhl and the School Ladies, Franklin Park.
Barbara will receive a $50 gift certificate as a token of our thanks for this lovely letter. Send your letters to Almanack Editor, 404 S. Third St., Geneva, IL 60134.
