Letter from the president for December 2008

Travel and Entertainment Discounts

As the winter holiday season is approaching, many HCCUA Members will be traveling to see family and friends, taking vacation time, and shopping for holiday presents. As a HCCUA Member, you have tens of thousands of discounts available. Since the state of the economy in the U.S. has everyone worried about holiday spending, you can be comforted in knowing that you can save hundreds of dollars this month, and every month, while still enjoying traveling, dining at restaurants, attending concerts and sporting events, and shopping online from the comfort of your home.

For the sake of illustration, let's imagine that you will be driving to another state to spend the holidays with family or friends. Here is a demonstration of some of the many discounts you might use to have a fabulous holiday experience while using your HCCUA Travel and Entertainment Discounts. As you are planning to travel, try reserving one of over 4,000 hotels or condominiums that offer HCCUA Members 20- 50% discounts throughout the U.S. and worldwide.

If you are taking your own car, be sure to get your HCCUA discount for an oil change before you leave town. If you are planning to rent a car, you can receive deeply discounted prices from most major car rental agencies. In addition to the savings on a car rental, you also have the advantage of discounts on gas for your travels!

Before you leave on vacation, you can have your clothes ready for celebrating the holidays with HCCUA discounted dry cleaning services. You can do all of your holiday shopping online without the stress of overly crowded malls or the cost of gas. You can even send flowers to the host or hostess from the discounted floral services. Your HCCUA benefits save more than just money!

Once you arrive at your holiday destination, your HCCUA benefits and discounts can still be used for continuous cost savings. Maybe you would like to go for a round of golf with a relative or friend while enjoying a two-for- one coupon, or perhaps you would like to use one of the hundreds of discounted restaurant savings coupons. You can take your HCCUA benefits of discounted concerts, sporting events, movies, museums, and tourist attractions with you to further your cost savings. With such fabulous discounts from your HCCUA Member benefits, you will feel like traveling more often!

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your HCCUA Memberships. I wish you and your family the best of the holiday season, full of joy, happiness, fun, enjoyment, and most importantly, good health. Remember that HCCUA Members save more than money, so if you have been a Member in good standing for more than ninety consecutive days, or if it has been a year since your last Comprehensive Wellness Test, please take a moment to make a toll-free call to (866) 227- 5400 to schedule your test at no additional cost to you. When it comes to your health, an ounce of prevention is not worth a pound of cure, it's worth a TON of cure!

Respectfully,
Dr. Lynn S. Morgan, President
HCCUA
