(* In Memory of ) Page 16 Luxor Luminary Spring 2016 Luxor Transportation Report Luxor Transportation for the year 2015 saw us sending 335 passengers to Montreal by air, rail and automobile for a total cost of $190,910.48. This total cost includes incidental charges while in Montreal for hotel, taxi and meals. A breakdown of the charges are as follows:

Charge Shrine Club Charge Shrine Club $18,649.01 Charlotte County $68,398.90 North Shore $27,105.58 Fredericton $19,244.62 Saint John $7,430.36 Miramichi $4,348.09 Sussex $24,602.40 Moncton $15,779.78 Upper Saint John River Valley $5,351.74 General (Hospital Board Meetings)

Looking at our transportation cost for sending a person to Montreal and return including all incidental charges is $569.88.

We are fortunate that Luxor was able to save $51,040.33 which is reflected in the above cost. These savings are for Air and Rail only and are a result of the following programs: Air Canada Medical Assistance Program Air Canada Corporate Rewards Program Hope Air Via Rail contract and escort program Air Canada Foundation which provides Aeroplan points for us to use Aeroplan points donated by the public to be used for transporation All of the above is a result of the hard work of the Local Transporation chairmen!
