Two pricing options

We have two options under consideration

(Air) $639...3 Days (Spirit Air into La Guardia and back + hotel)
(Bus) $489...5 Days (motor coach + hotels)

The payment schedule for either option would be as follows:
Due by March 25: $100
Due every 2 weeks until first week of June: $100(Air) or $50(Bus)

If we travel by motor coach, we will add 2 Pennsylvania school (probably Penn State and Alvernia) to the current list of schools

1. Harvard
2. Holy Cross
3. Boston College
4. Yale
5. Sacred Heart University
6. Columbia
7. St John's
8. Seton Hall
9. Princeton

Both options represent significant investments of money and/or time.

We are hosting an informational meeting Wednesday March 24 at 8pm in the Bernardine Franciscan Learning Center to gauge interest in both options.
