Town participates in school supply collection

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced today that the Town of Oyster Bay will participate in Long Island Cares’ School Supply Drive. The drive, which takes place during the months of July and August, collects new and gently used school supplies for disadvantaged students. “Children are our most precious resource and together, we can help make the beginning of the school year a positive experience for Long Island’s students,” said Supervisor Saladino. “The Town is proud to partner with LI Cares to collect generous donations for this worthwhile cause.”

The most needed school supplies are: new backpacks, new lunch boxes, binders, notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, erasers, pencil cases, construction paper, foreign language dictionaries, dictionaries, loose leaf paper, printer paper, rulers, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, tape, calculators, and books. Those interested in supporting the School Supply Drive can place donated items in drop off boxes located in the following Town of Oyster Bay locations: • Town Hall North – 54 Audrey Avenue - Oyster Bay

• Town Hall South – 977 Hicksville Road – Massapequa • Hicksville Athletic Center – 167 S. Broadway - Hicksville • Town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center – 1001 Stewart Avenue - Bethpage Regular business hours for the Town locations are 9:00am to 4:45pm. For more information about the program, residents may visit www.licares. org or call Esther Alter in the Town’s Public Information Office at (516) 6246380.

The PGA Championship will again be played at the Black course at Bethpage State Park, said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran on July 19th. Curran welcomed the PGA, as did representatives from New York State Parks, the Town of Oyster Bay, and Discover Long Island, and also welcomed PGA Championship Director Scott Reid and his staff to Bethpage State Park in advance of next year’s PGA Championship. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony took place outside the PGA’s temporary on-site offices at Bethpage, and was attended by numerous local representatives and regional news outlets. “The PGA Championship is one of the largest sporting events in the world, and it’s expected that 1,800 temporary, full-time and part-time jobs will be created, along with a projected $100 million dollars in economic benefit to Nassau County,” said County Executive Laura Curran. This will be the first PGA Championship held on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park and the 13th conducted in the state of NY; more than any other state. Next year’s PGA Championship will be played May 13th-19th, marking the tournament’s official move from August to May as a result of a larger shift in the professional golf calendar. In 2024, the PGA of America will return to Bethpage once again to conduct golf’s preeminent team competition, the Ryder Cup. This will be the first Ryder Cup held in greater New York Metro since 1935. Those interested in volunteering or attending the Championship as a spectator can visit PGAChampionship.com to learn more about volunteer and ticket registration.

Avisa Tonekaboni, Jack Thearle, and Adriana Barkey, Long Island History Day participants from Wisdom Lane Middle School. (Not pictured: Nabiha Khan) Four students from Wisdom Lane Middle School’s National History Day Club recently participated in Long Island History Day at Hofstra University, an academic contest for students in grades 6-12 to present their research on a historical topic. Wisdom Lane seventh-graders Adriana Barkey, Nabiha Khan, Avisa Tonekaboni, and eighth-grader Jack Thearle were interviewed about their projects during the event, which corresponded with the 2018 contest theme “Conflict and Compromise in History.” With the guidance of teacher Alexander Eichhorn, Barkey and Khan created a documentary titled My Constitutional Right: The Story of Claudette Colvin, which focused on civil rights activist Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat on a bus nine

months before Rosa Parks. Tonekaboni wrote a research paper titled “You Have the Right to Remain Silent: The Journey of Ernesto Miranda” about the Miranda v. Arizona Supreme Court decision, while Thearle wrote a research paper titled “A Glimpse of Hope for Peace” about the Christmas Day Truce of 1914 during World War I between British, French, and German soldiers. Although the students did not advance to the next level of competition, the district is extremely proud of all the participants for their hard work. The students will continue to share their research as they plan on submitting their projects to the New York State Archives Student Research Award Contest.

Angel Athenas at Special Olympics BY GARY SIMEONE It has been a whirlwind of a month for FREE (Family Residences and Essential Enterprises) member Angel Athenas. The Huntington native won four gold medals at the National Special Olympics in Seattle, and has been honored in multiple ceremonies for her achievement. At the Special Olympics, which took place in Seattle earlier this month, Athenas medaled in the bench press, deadlift, and squatting competitions. She was among 3,500 athletes from all over the country who competed in the games. “I had to wake up at 5 a.m. every morning to train for competition,” said Athenas, who has been at the Family Residences in Old Bethpage for four years. “It was a lot of hard work and training, but also very interesting being competing with the other athletes.” In the bench press event, she benched 162 kilos to earn the first place prize. She also squatted 176 kilos, which was a first for her. “Squatting that much weight was very hard to do, but I think all of my training and my coaches pushing me along, really helped me,” said Athenas. Veronica Garcia, director of day services at FREE, said that she and her staff were very proud of Angel’s accom-

plishments. “We’re so proud of Angel, to have her represent FREE at the National Special Olympics in Seattle earlier this month and at the upcoming international Special Olympics in March,” said Garcia. “Her determination and hard work is something that inspires her peers in a way that lifts us all up. When Angel succeeds, we all do.” On Thursday, July 19th, Angel was honored at FREE in a special ceremony to honor her record-breaking accomplishments. Prior to the Seattle games, she broke the woman’s deadlifting record at the Special Olympics in Albany. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, who attended the ceremony, said he was extremely impressed by Angel’s feats at the Olympic Games. “Most athletes hope to win a single competition in their lifetime, but not Angel. She accomplished way more than that, including breaking the women’s deadlifting world record,” said Saladino. “Being a top athlete takes a lot of hard work and perseverance, and we celebrate Angel for her accomplishments and showing the world that being differently-abled does not mean you are not able.” The Supervisor presented her with a citation at the ceremony to recognize her accomplishments.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board honored Joseph Varrone of Old Bethpage with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Town’s Veterans Volunteer Awards Ceremony Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board honored Joseph Varrone of Old Bethpage with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Town’s Veterans Volunteer Awards Ceremony, held in conjunction with the Town’s annual Salute to America Concert at John J. Burns Park in Massapequa. During the program, the Town proudly recognized and honored all of men and women in the United States Armed Forces, as well as amazing local veterans, who continue to be involved in the community and advocate for those who have served this great nation. “Joseph Varrone is an inspiration to all of us, and I am proud to recognize and honor him as he has helped to shape our community for the better through his continued advocacy and exemplary community service,” said Supervisor Saladino. “On top of his decorated military career, Joseph Varrone continues to remain active in many causes, such as assisting the Plainview Library sending packages to our servicemen and women in Iraq, volunteering to help needy and hospitalized veterans at local VA hospitals, and helping teach local Boy and Girl Scouts troops about patriotism and respecting our flag. I am proud to help shine a light on all the amazing accomplishments Joseph Varrone has achieved for the community, and honor him as this year’s Lifetime Achievement

Award Recipient.” Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient Joseph Varrone of Old Bethpage is a highly decorated Vietnam Army veteran and a very active member of VFW Post 5942 Plainview, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter # 82 and the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Joseph entered the Army in 1964 and was sent to Vietnam in September of 1965. He was twice wounded in action and is a two time recipient of the Purple Heart. He was also the recipient of the Bronze Star, the Army Commendation Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal Ribbon, and additionally received numerous awards for Meritorious Service, Valor and Gallantry. Supervisor Saladino added “Veterans deserve the continuing support of the entire community for the extraordinary sacrifices they have made to keep America the land of the free. Our Salute to America Concert and the Veterans Volunteer Awards are just a small way in which we can remind our veterans that their efforts are not and will never be forgotten.” For more information regarding Veterans Services offered by the Town of Oyster Bay, please visit www. oysterbaytown.com or call (516) 7977875.

Flappers and Dapper Dans packed the ferry to Governors Island for the 13th annual Jazz Age Lawn Party, June 16 and 17. Take heart if you missed the June weekend festival: there is another opportunity to transport yourself back to the Gatsby Era, on August 25 & 26. The Jazz Age Lawn Party is a chance to push back the clock to a Gatsby-esque Brigadoon of sorts. It is the best of New York and brings out the best of New Yorkers. The music and atmosphere brings out pure joy -– it is one perennial smile For an entire afternoon you are transported – quite literally by ferry from the tip of Manhattan and Brooklyn – to the 1920s era of hot jazz. People of all ages, dressed to the nine’s as flappers and gents, bearing wicker picnic baskets (some with tables, tablecloths and candelabra), stream onto the island, with its forts and structures from the Civil War and World War II. It is but a stone’s throw from Manhattan and Brooklyn, and yet a world and an era away. Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra create this literal dream, with his meticulously recreated music of the 1920s. There is impeccable faithful reproduction – even the cocktails are Speakeasy-worthy and if you didn’t have appropriate attire, you could rent or buy vintage at one of the stalls, take a tintype photo or a photo sitting on a blue moon with a vintage camera. Over the years, the regulars have returned, now with babies, now with toddlers, now with their little boys in their See page D2

caps and suspenders, little girls with hair bows, dresses and patent leather shoes who join in the dancing. Interlude music is provided on vintage vinyl recordings over antique gramophones.

The only thing that bursts the illusion, to jostle your memory of what year it is, are the ubiquitous cell phones. Conductor, composer, musician and crooner Michael Arenella presents a personally transcribed, one-of-a-kind songbook for your listening and dancing

pleasure by his Dreamland Orchestra, playing the Hot Jazz of the 1920s. The entertainment abounds on two stages (and two dancefloors): The Dreamland Follies evoke Ziegfeld-esque grand dance routines; Roddy Caravella and the Canarsie Wobblers is a funloving dance troupe that conjures the rebellious and exuberant spirit of Roaring ‘20s; Queen Esther pays tribute to jazz royalty of yore and Peter Mintun takes the moniker of “world’s greatest piano man”; and the Gelber & Manning Band, feuding vaudevillian lovebirds quarrel, coo and make beautiful music together. Also Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society have come from Philadelphia, presents wry, spry, and certifiably Hot Jazz; The Great Dubini (Gregory Dubin), the resident magician in The McKittrick Follies at The Mandeerlay Bar, presents his unique brand of classic magic. There are fun activities as well which you can join: the event typically starts with a dance lesson (the Peabody was being taught on Sunday), followed in the afternoon by a Dance Contest; a Bathing Beauties and Beaus Promenade, wearing vintage swimming outfits of the age (for entry email: bluevoon@aol. com), and a Children’s parade. The afternoon starts off with dance lessons in the hottest dance steps of the time, like the Peabody or Charleston.

You can immortalize the day in your own Vintage Portraits-You Ought To Be In Pictures, perched on a Paper Moons or in tintypes using the same techniques and chemicals (a mixture of gunpowder and ether) as were used more than a century ago; the ultimate family-friendly event also features Kidland carnival games and prizes for junior Gents and Flapperettes. There’s also a 1920s MotorCar Exhibition, where you can get up close and personal with flivvers and Tin Lizzies, and Antique Gramophones that reanimate original recordings from the 1920s. And what would a Prohibition-era, speakeasy event be without booze? Julie Reiner presents her Clover club Collection cocktails and VieVité, Côtes de Provence Rosé is the official wine sponsor of the Jazz Age Lawn Party. (Take note: you can’t bring in your own alcoholic beverages to Governor’s Island.) The event typically sells out and tickets are only available for purchase in advance.

Break away from the music and dancing to explore Governors Island, by bike or foot. Governors Island: New York City’s Island Retreat So Near Yet So Far Away, Introduces Glamping Governors Island, a 712-acre island in the heart of New York Harbor, but 800 yards off Lower Manhattan and even closer to Brooklyn, is a sensational getaway destination, in its own right – historic sites like Fort Jay and Castle Williams, bicycle paths, playgrounds, art venues, and marvelous festive “happenings.” You never have had to go so near to be transported so far. Be one of the first guests to stay overnight on NYC’s historic Governors Island with Collective Retreats. With unique accommodations including luxury tents (glamping) and designer modular containers, guests enjoy a full-service hotel-style retreat with unparalleled waterfront views of New York City and the Statue of Liberty (collectiveretreats.com). You can rent bicycles at Citibikes and at Blazing Saddles (which offers a free hour-long ride weekdays before noon) and delightful surreys. Governors Island has a fabulous history that goes back to the Native Americans and colonial days of the Dutch and the British in New York. It has had a military purpose going back to the Revolutionary War. Between 1806 and 1809, the U.S. Army reconstructed Fort Jay and built Castle Williams on a rocky outcropping facing the harbor.

During the War of 1812, artillery and infantry troops were concentrated on Governors Island. The island continued to serve an important military function until the 1960s. During the American Civil War, it was used for recruitment and as a prison for captured Confederate soldiers (on one visit, I came upon Civil War reenactors practicing drills, quite a mind-bender from having just come from the 1920s Jazz Age Lawn Party). Throughout World War I and II, the island served as an important supply base for Army ground and air forces (my father was stationed at Fort Jay during the war.) Over the years, Governors Island has served as the backdrop for a number of historic events. In 1986, the island was the setting for the relighting of the newly refurbished Statue of Liberty by President Ronald Reagan. In 1988, President Reagan hosted a U.S.-U.S.S.R. summit with Mikhail Gorbachev on Governors Island, and in 1993, the United Nations sponsored talks on the island to help restore democratic rule in Haiti. In April 2010, Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Paterson reached an agreement on the future of Governors

Island. The City of New York is now responsible for Governors Island and created the Trust for Governors Island, the organization charged with the operations, planning and redevelopment of the Island. The Island has become known as New York City’s “Playground for the Arts,” hosting cultural events, food festivals, concerts, performances throughout the season. The Trust for Governors Island, also offers a wide variety of programming on public access days. Visit them at www. govisland.com for more information. Access to the island has been greatly improved. This summer, you can stay late on Fridays, when is open until 10 pm (May 25-September 14); you can have cocktails and dinner at the outdoor cafes and bars; outdoor films and other events are scheduled. Governors Island is open daily May 1-October 31, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, and weekends from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Fridays from May 25-September 14 until 10 p.m..

“Yes! We have no bananas” - Music to Shop by BY MARJORIE GOTTLIEB WOLFE *The song, “Yes, We Have No Bananas” was a big hit in 1923. The novelty song was written by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn from the B’way revue, “Make It Snappy.” It was recorded by hundreds of artists: Billy Jones, Louis Prima, Al Jolson, Benny Goodman, and The Muppets. The song came out because there was a banana shortage in NYC and it was a fun song. There are many different versions. A little trivia: Americans love bananas. The average person eats between 20 and 30 lbs. of bananas a year. Music in retail is a field that has been studied since the 1980s. Research shows that stores use sights, smells, sound and other stimuli in combination to create a shopping atmosphere. Stew Leonard’s has been called the “Disneyland of Dairy Stores.” As customers walk through the aisles, they are greeted by employees dressed up in costume and by animatronic characters. One early study found that when the music was loud, shoppers tended to spend LESS time in the store. When the music was softer, shoppers tended to spend MORE time in the store. A study by Prof. Ronald E. Milliman showed that slow music makes people move more slowly through the store,

and they end up buying more. Slow sad songs result in more sales. Two examples of slow sad songs: “Yesterday” by the Beatles, and “Someone Like You” (Adele). A 2018 study found that rocking out to “Shake it Off” in the cereal aisle can cause the shopper to spend more money and make unplanned purchases. So, according to Lisa Freedman (RachelRaymag.com), those musically inspired impulse buys could lead to more inventive meals. Another interesting fact, people shopping in a liquor store may buy more expensive wines if the store offers classical music in the background. Research shows that shoppers who had little or no experience buying wine bought more expensive wines when classical music was playing. And so if I shop at a kosher meat market—and the owner plays the “Gefilte Fish” song by Isidor Lillian— will I spend more? The lyrics [in part]: Hungarians love their gulash with paprika, Poles, they favor bigos meat with bread, Russians, they prefer their borsht red, Germans would rather have cabbage dumplings. Mamelige is favored by Roumanians, And Georgians just love their shashlik. None of these folks know what’s really

good, On the contrary, say what’s really good? Gefilte fish, gefilte fish. BTW, Jeff Warmouth defines gefilte fish as follows: Ball made of ground fish, served in a jar. Basically a fish version of Spam. Treated by some as a delicacy; by others as disgusting. And so, I’m going to suggest to my ShopRite owner, Jon Greenfield, that he play the following songs while I do my weekly shopping: • “Yes! We Have No Bananas” We have no bananas today. We have string beans and onions Cabbages & scallions And all kinds of fruit, and say We have an old fashioned tomato A Long Island potato But we have no bananas We have no bananas today… • If I Knew You Were Comin I’d ‘ve Baked A Cake” (Eileen Barton) • Life Is Just A Bowl of Cherries” (Rudy Vallee) • Food, Glorious Food (cast of Oliver) • Egg Man” (Beastie Boys) • I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts (Danny Kaye) . Hand Me Down that Can of Beans (Cast of Paint Your Wagon)

. A Little Bit of Cucumber” (Harry Champion) . I Can’t Git A Nice Loaf A’ Bread (The Singing Postman) • Cereal Soup (Bicycle Thief) • Marshmallow World (Bing Crosby) • Mean Mr. Mustard (The Beatles) • Oh! That Gorgonzola Cheese (by Harry Champion) • Real Girls Eat Cake (The Janoskians) • Strawberry Fields Forever (The Beatles) • Thanks For The Pepperoni (George Harrison) • The Worst Pies in London (cast of SweeneyTodd) • TV Dinners (ZZ Top) Marjorie Wolfe’s favorite supermarket story: A man from Mars entered the bakery dept. of a supermarket. He asks the counterperson, “Hey, what are these small wheels?” “They’re not wheels. They’re bagels. Here. Try one.” The martian tried an “everything” bagel. A beatific smile crossed his lips. “Wow! These would go great with cream cheese—and lox!” (Source: Leo Rosten and others)

The ‘Ex’ Factor and Social Security BY TOM MARGENAU

Q: My ex-wife was getting divorced spouse benefits on my account. She recently died. How do I go about getting her benefits added back into my account? A: There is nothing to add back to your account. Social Security benefits paid to divorced spouses, and for that matter, benefits paid to any dependent spouse or child, are merely add-on benefits. They don’t take a nickel away from anything the primary account holder is due. So now that she has died, her checks merely stop. No other adjustments to your Social Security record are necessary. Q: My ex-wife (we were married for 27 years) is trying to get benefits on my account. She isn’t a nice person and she was very antagonistic and mean-spirited to me throughout the divorce process. I don’t want her to get any of my Social Security. So how do I stop her from doing this? A: Assuming she meets all the eligibility requirements, you can’t stop her from getting benefits on your record. To qualify for those benefits, she would have to be at least 62, not due higher benefits on her own record, and unmarried. So maybe you want to introduce her to a handsome retiree and hope he sweeps her off her feet and leads her down the aisle. Otherwise, she’ll be getting Social Security checks on your record. But as I pointed out in the prior answer, whatever she gets doesn’t take anything away from you or your Social Security account. So don’t lose too much sleep over this. Q: My first wife and I were married for more than 30 years before divorcing five years ago. I have remarried. She hasn’t. We remain good friends, and I would like to do anything I can to make sure she gets spousal benefits from my Social Security. Do I need to sign any papers granting her permission? By the way, I am already getting my Social Security. My ex is about to turn 62 and is ready to file. A: People sure are curious creatures, aren’t they? The guy who wrote the prior question was trying to do everything in his power to keep his ex from getting any of his Social Security. And here you are -- bending over backwards to help your former spouse. That’s nice. But you don’t have to do any bending. There is nothing you need to do and no papers you need to sign. Your ex merely needs call the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 to get the ball rolling. Assuming she isn’t due higher benefits on her own record, she will get an amount equal to about onethird of your full Social Security benefit. Q: There is an older guy living on our block who doesn’t get along with anyone in the neighborhood.

I’d guess he’s in his 70s, and he’s living with a younger woman. Neighborhood gossip says that he is getting Social Security and that this 40-something girlfriend of his is also getting benefits. And on top of that, he was married at least three times before and we understand all his ex-wives are getting Social Security from him, too. No wonder Social Security has such problems if we are sending monthly checks to all these women! A: Neighborhood gossip sure can be entertaining, but it’s not always reliable. For example, there is a guy on our block whom everyone calls “GI Joe” because they don’t know his real name and because he seems to have a lot of hunting gear in his garage. The word was out that this guy was very strange and that you better keep your distance from him. Well, the other day, I bumped into him at our local Home Depot and struck up a conversation. He turned out to be a very nice man who just happens to like his privacy. He makes and sells duck decoys online and is very artistic and has quite a successful business. The lesson of that story is not to put so much faith into neighborhood gossip. And don’t believe stories about someone’s eligibility for Social Security benefits; no one really knows what is going on. But I can tell you this: There is no way his 40-something girlfriend is getting Social Security benefits on his record unless they have young children at home. And you didn’t mention any kids. Also, it is extremely unlikely that all three of his alleged ex-wives are getting benefits on his Social Security account. I am sure that one or more of those women has remarried, which negates any benefits they might be due from your neighbor. Or even if they have not remarried, there is a good chance they worked and are due higher benefits on their own Social Security accounts. Throughout my 32-year career with the Social Security Administration, I probably saw tens of thousands of Social Security records. And in all that time, I recall only once seeing an account where a guy had a current spouse and two ex-spouses claiming benefits on his record. Q: My wife and I recently divorced. We are in our 70s. We both get our own Social Security. Mine is $2,122 and she gets about $2,445. I heard that Social Security discriminates against men. In other words, when she dies, I won’t be due any divorced widower’s benefits on her record? A: You heard wrong. Social Security laws are gender neutral. So assuming you meet all the eligibility requirements, you will get an extra $323 in monthly divorced widower’s benefits

added to your own retirement check if your ex-wife precedes you in death. If you have a Social Security question,

Great Escape Adventures Introduces Shorter Global Scavenger Hunt for Fall The Global Scavenger Hunt, a reallife around-the-world travel adventure competition, is launching a new shorter version of its annual international travel adventure this fall, The Global Scavenger Hunt WEST. “After taking hundreds of adventurous Indiana Jones-types around-the-world successfully 14 times to 85 countries, we are going small,” says event CEO (that’s Chief Experience Officer), William D. Chalmers. “Since starting our travel world championship event in 2000, we have received thousands of requests to create a shorter version…an abridged regional version, of our incredible 23-day global event. We always knew that mystery surprise vacation adventures were thrilling, travelers love them. And they are trending and hot now too.” The 2018 fall Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will maintain

all the unique elements of the larger global event—travelers will visit destinations that are kept secret, they partake in culturally immersive interactive local site-doing scavenger hunts, and it is a competition—but the 2018 WEST adventure will be limited in time and geography: taking place over 14-days, instead of 23-days; and visiting four secret countries on a single continent, rather than circling the globe to ten nations. “Our fall Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will continue to do what we do best…take people on life-changing adventures, taking them on A Blind Date with World— we’re still not telling which mysterious destinations they will be visiting with WEST being their only clue!— and striving to get travelers outside their comfort zones to trust strangers in strange lands.” promises Chalmers, “It

Where you will actually go on the Global Scavenger Hunt is a secret, but the program always results in opportunities to be immersed in culture, like a market in India © Karen Rubin/goingplacesfarandnear.com is all about authentic, challenging and participatory travel—soul-rejuvenating travel.” The inaugural Global Scavenger Hunt WEST adventure will begin October 13 (at a to-be-determined North American gateway city) ending twoweeks, four or five countries later, on October 27. In between, Amazing Race wannabe’s will achieve travel nirvana visiting mysterious destination gems, uncovering cryptic clues, carrying out secret missions, hunting down masterpieces, sampling extraordinary cuisines, using pre-industrial modes of transport, and happily facing lifeenriching challenges. As in the annual around-the-world event, this shorter adventure will also be a hands-on and transformative adventure with a high WOW-Factor for jaded travelers and busy people alike.

“I know better than most that getting, let alone taking, three weeks off, is a challenge for most Americans,” continues Chalmers, author of the 2013 book Who Stole Your Vacation? America’s Vacation Deficit Disorder, “This shorter two-week version will allow more adventurous travelers to join in on the fun we have been providing travelers since 2000.” The 14-day 2018 adventure is limited to 12 teams of two (24 travelers) with a $7,450 per person entry fee that includes: all international airfare, first class hotels, 40% of meals, and special event-related travel gear. Single travelers are welcome to apply. Contact GreatEscape Adventures at +1.310.281.7809 or apply online at GlobalScavengerHunt.com.
