Travel Adventure
Series Begins Jan. 13
For the past eighteen years the
Kiwanis Club of Tryon has
presented its yearly Travel and
Adventure Series, Travelogue.
This year, there will be another
fine series of four monthly
presentations to satisfy the
wanderlust during those long
winter and early spring months.
The professionally photographed
series, which includes live
narration, is always very well
done. To some, the views
presented bring back memories
of past vacations to distant
places. To others, it may be a
first glimpse at a future travel
destination. While for still others
it may be a way of visiting a far
off place that would not be
possible otherwise. Whatever the
reason, we at Kiwanis are proud
to bring you the Travel and
Adventure Series for 1991.
