GGC2005 - Pre-Vote Announcement!!!
Hi Steve,
Your computer is new and you probably don't have JAVA enabled. Try using IE (internet explorer).

GGC2005 - Pre-Vote Announcement!!!
i would have posted the itineraries, amenities etc to be voted on without
the names of the TA's. that way the best itinerary would be chosen with or without regard to the TA -- Sheree "SC posner" wrote in message . .. The reason I posted Karen's resume is that I was asked for information about her. If it would have been asked I would have posted it also. I believe that the resume of all the bidders will be available on the GGC website. If you would like to know about John .... Bio of John Setzo: I am a cruise enthusiast and a certified master cruise counselor with CLIA. I have been an agent for 6 years but have cruised since I was a child. I have escorted several group cruises for our agency and dealt with groups as large as 200. I have personally hosted a large church group of about 200 people for the past 3 years. The owner of the agency, Bob Hanks has been in the business for 12 years and has hosted groups as large as 500. He also is a certified master cruise counselor. We plan to co-host the group cruise if we shall win the bid. If we shall win, I can arrange a complimentary group tour and luncheon onboard the NCL Star some time in the Fall for those interested. I was on the GGC Committee last year and I think the reason that John's package was not brought forward is that he did not meet the requirements of the RFB at that time. He understood and had no hard feelings. So the "Change" is, John now qualifies to bid. Chip "Freddyp" wrote in message news:Xc5vc.1832$CW.698@lakeread05... Well now Chip Why would you bother to post Karen's resume and not John's? A little one sided I would say. You do know how everyone has a thing for Mr. Szeto, don't you? For years he was not allowed to bid on a GGC because of his ethics. What changed now? So, I ask again, why not post his resume? Fred "SC posner" wrote in message m... If you read Karen Wheelock's Resume you will find that she is very experienced and has a great reputation. World Travel Service has been in business for almost 50 years and is the largest travel agency in Oklahoma. Karen Wheelock, has been an agent for 17 years and a cruise group specialist for 10 years. She is a delightful person to deal with. She has a true desire to make any travel experience pleasant and enjoyable for her clients. I have known her for a couple of years. I wanted to stay neutral in this, (since I am on the Committee) but her company is right here in Tulsa. We Tulsans are proud of Tulsa and are protective of each other! I hope that answers some of your questions. If not feel free to ask others, or you could always call her! 1-800-324-4987 x 259 or check out their website www.WorldTravelToday "sheree" wrote in message t... my only question/concern is who is this other TA? do you know people who have dealt with her in the past? is she someone's private agent? these can all be a concern. Everyone here on RTC is familiar with the other names and has their own opinions of them. -- Sheree "Lloyd Parsons" wrote in message ... In article , Tom & Linda wrote: "Lloyd Parsons" wrote in message ... So how many times has Karen Wheelock posted on rtc? Sue ---found no posts from Google Groups I have no idea, nor am I overly concerned with that and neither was the rest of the committee. As you should know, it gets increasingly more difficult to get TA's that will bid at all on the GGC's because of the flame level that exists primarily here. When we posted for TA's to bid, she was one of them. Thanks for asking.... Perhaps next time it might be worth stating up front that the TA's that bid don't have to be RTCr's. It might generate even more interest. Having the stipulation, as in the past, that the TA must be an RTC poster reduces the "pool" of TA's that can bid. Even though you did get a non-RTC TA to bid this time, maybe if you state up front that you don't have to be an RTC poster you'll get even more interest next time. --Tom I won't argue with that. But that isn't the way it was done this time. Next GGC the committee can do like us and make their rules also. For information, each GGC committee is empowered to do whatever is ethical and legal to produce good results. They are not bound to the previous committee's rules in any way except possibly that it makes it easier. And actually, there is no requirement that the GGC chair even empanel a committee as I was told more than once. All in all, I think we got some very nice bids that you all will find at least one if not more to like. Lloyd |

that would then be a part time student with a full time job. it would be
quite difficult to be a full time student and have a full time job. many times you posted that you did the TA work PT. and it was until you got done with school. -- Sheree "John Szeto" wrote in message ... Mike, Never did I say I was the owner of the agency. Don't put words in my mouth. Also, like I said before, just because someone goes to school, doesn't mean they cannot be a full time agent. I know a lot of people who have full time jobs and go to night school. It is very common. I was a full time agent then and a full time agent now. You just had a hard time comprehending that fact. Like I said before, enough said. That's why I have not been posting on R.T.C. for the past year or so anymore because of all the flame wars. Mike Cordelli wrote: I'm sorry, I had thought that in April of 2001, period of time you were not allowed to bid that you were still in school, were not an owner of a travel agency, and were not a full time travel agent. Obviously I'm mistaken, at that time you were all that and were certainly slighted by not being allowed to bid. Again, if I'm wrong, and the post I was referring from April 11th or so of 2001 is incorrect, and you did own an agency then, and were working full time, then I'm wrong. Nice try though. "John Szeto" wrote in message ... Mike, For the record, I am a full time agent and got permission from the agency to able to bind the contract for years already. Get your facts straight. You can argue all you want. Enough said. Mike Cordelli wrote: No No No, he wasn't allowed to bid because he wasn't the owner or even a full time travel agent. That was back when they had rules. "Freddyp" wrote in message news:Xc5vc.1832$CW.698@lakeread05... Well now Chip Why would you bother to post Karen's resume and not John's? A little one sided I would say.

wrote: i would have posted the itineraries, amenities etc to be voted on without the names of the TA's. that way the best itinerary would be chosen with or without regard to the TA That was discussed and we decided to ID the TA's. The reasoning being that if the vote went to a TA that was unpopular, then those that voted wouldn't book when the time came. Whether that is totally right or wrong doesn't matter, it was the overall feeling of the committee that it was certainly a possibility. Lloyd |

S' nd I XXX Sunny, a good virus protection takes care of that. As far as a pc crashing. I have now owned two and they have both worked fine. I will state that my first pc was a Gateway which was a piece of garbage. Love my Dell. Gordon Looking for some wood to knock on after making that statement about no crashes!!!!!!!!! |
