PASSPORT, VISA AND TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Passport Required U.S. citizens need a passport for this itinerary. Please take a moment to check if your passport meets all of these requirements. If you are refused entry, you may be required to return to the U.S. immediately, which would be at your own expense. Your passport should meet these requirements for this itinerary: • It should be in good condition • It should be valid for at least 6 months after your scheduled return to the U.S. • It should have the recommended number of blank pages (see below for details). • The blank pages must be labeled “Visas” at the top. Pages labeled “Amendments and Endorsements” are not acceptable. Recommended number of blank pages: Since the consequence of having too few pages can be severe—you could be denied entry into a country—we opt for a better safe than sorry policy. We recommend these guidelines. • Main trip only: You will need 2 blank “Visa” pages in your passport. • Pre- and/or post-trip extension : No additional blank pages are needed for any of the extensions. If you need to renew your passport or get extra pages: Contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 1-877-487-2778, or visit their website at www.travel.state.gov for information on obtaining a new passport, renewing your existing passport, or for additional pages. You may also contact our recommended visa service company, PVS International, at 1-800-556-9990 for help with your passport. NOTE: When updating your passport, it is worthwhile to check the prices on all the different services that might apply to you. For example, it might be less expensive to renew your passport than to have pages added, depending on the number of pages you need. Visas Not Required For U.S. citizens, a visa is not required for entry into Germany, Czech Republic, or Poland. If you are staying longer than 90 days in any of these countries, you should check with their embassy or consulate for the applicable regulations. GCCL ELB 2015 06/15/15 5 Traveling Without a U.S. Passport? If you are not a U.S. citizen, or if your passport is from any country other than the U.S., it is your responsibility to check with your local consulate, embassy, or a visa services company about possible visa requirements. For your convenience, we recommend the services of PVS International, a national visa service located in Washington D.C.; they can be reached at 1-800-556-9990 or www.pvsinternational.org. Requirements for the Czech Republic You will need to bring additional documentation for the Czech Republic, so please read carefully. The Czech Republic has a rule that all travelers must be able to provide proof of medical coverage, if asked

  • 2005 EASTERN EUROPE Budapest, Prague, Elbe River 1
    2005 EASTERN EUROPE Budapest, Prague, Elbe River Sunday and Monday, August 8-9, 2005. I met Mary at Hartsfield. Never have we had such a hard time getting to our destination! The plane had been late coming in from Frankfurt and then it had to be cleaned. When it became time to board, there was water on the skyway from the thunderstorm raging outside. I was not considered handicapped with my cane. I had to wait while they boarded the wheelchairs. At last we were all on board and left an hour late. After a pasta entrée, I curled up in my blanket and slept all the way to Paris. It was one of the smoothest crossings I have ever experienced. We were 45 minutes late arriving in Paris. We were also at a remote bus gate. I had decided not to ask for a wheelchair since when Mary and I came back from the Riviera three years ago, we had waited almost an hour for a handicap bus that never came. I had ended up walking on my own power to the other terminal and figured I could do it again. It seemed to take forever to get into the terminal. Air France directed us to Gate B2 where there was a long line to get through security. Fortunately our flight to Budapest was marked retarde (late), so we felt we had lots of time. Wrong! We finally got into the waiting room only to find that the rest rooms were out in the terminal and we would have to go out and come back through security.

    JUNE, 2010 VOLUME XXVI, # 6 Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 6:00 PM Community Church – Assembly Room 40 East 35th Street (Between Park and Madison Avenues) DOCUMENTARY FILM - THE LINERS: SHIPS OF DESTINY Rob McAuley Production for Channel Four, the Australian Broadcasting Company The film to be shown covers the period from the transition of sail to steam through to the sinking of the Lusitania during World War I. The footage contains historical films and stills intertwined with the then-contemporary (1995) footage, Hollywood cameos, and talking heads, most familiar to us (and a few not). Segments show SS Great Britain in Bristol; the Great Eastern, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s great failure; building of the Suez Canal and its importance to world trade, power and politics; rivalry between the British and Germans for supremacy at sea; race for the Blue Ribband; J. P. Morgan’s expansion from railroads to buying the Red Star Line and the White Star Line; immigrant trade and profits; Titanic’s construction and sinking; port of Hamburg scenes and Albert Ballin Village; World War I; sinking of Lusitania; and threading through it all P&O’s then new ORIANA passing through Suez and into the Indian Ocean. The program will be introduced by Paul Immerman who, with his wife Ellen, purchased this film at a recent Ocean Liner Bazaar. Paul, a securities lawyer, is a long-time World Ship Society member and a former trustee of the Ocean Liner Museum. He will point out some of the film’s features and not quite accurate portrayals.

  • 2005 Annualreport.Pdf
    The Golden West College Foundation The Golden West College Foundation was organized in 1985 to solicit and manage gifts to benefit the college and its students. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the College’s mission of providing comprehensive academic opportunities to the community for lifelong learning. A board of directors, who provides the leadership and direction for the organization’s operation, manages the Foundation. The Foundation has grown steadily since 1985 with assets over $1,900,000. This has been accomplished through donations of cash, bequests and grants from individuals and businesses. The Foundation has provided over $2,200,000 in scholarships to Golden West College students. In addition to cash assets, the Foundation annually receives donated equipment and supplies that represent thousands of dollars in gifts in-kind. The primary focus of the Foundation Board of Directors is working toward building support for college-wide needs. To nurture groups who have special interests in supporting Golden West College, the Foundation provides staff support and direction to three auxiliaries. Each auxiliary is managed by its own board and officers, requiring membership dues for operational expenses. Report from the Foundation Chairman Bob Polentz The Golden West Foundation again participated in the Scholarship and Awards Ceremony held in May by awarding scholarships to over 200 students. Since 1989, the Foundation has awarded over $2,200,000 to deserving students. This has been extremely gratifying to the Foundation as the awarding of scholarships is a direct contributor to the enhancement of student success at Golden West College. On Saturday, March 12, the Foundation held its eighth annual major successful fundraiser, the “Golden West College Gala.” We are happy to report that we raised approximately $142,000—a new record.
