Chapter Chats

OSSN Chapters in Texas:

Almost 40 travel agents converged on Galveston Island for the 2006 OSSN Galveston FAM in August. What a great time these agents had, enjoying the fabulous area attractions, ship inspections, and local bus tour! The Tremont House Hotel was the perfect host property, and the Galveston Convention & Visitors Bureau put together an awesome package for everyone. Big thanks go to the trip's sponsors: the Galveston CVB, the Tremont House Hotel, and Coach USA!

Here are the hosts for this year's fam: (l to r) Lu Ann Edger (OSSN Dallas Chapter Director), Melody Smith (Director of Tourism, Galveston Convention & Visitors Bureau CVB), Brenda O'Leary (OSSN San Antonio Chapter Director), Jeff Grieder (OSSN Houston Chapter Director), Sharon Kocurek (Sales Manager, Tremont House Hotel), and Sharon Lasater (OSSN Fort Worth Chapter Director).

Melva Hodges, Pamela Brown, and Deborah McGinnis (l to r) enjoy breakfast sponsored by the Tremont House Hotel.

Cincinnati Chapter:

Melody Gaskins, the director of the OSSN Cincinnati Chapter, drew more than a dozen agents to her recent meeting in southern Ohio!

Here's a picture of the entire group enjoying dinner together, as well as a photo showing Melody with the Pleasant Holidays rep who updated the agents on the tour packager's plans for 2007.
