About 40 members of RTC Industries’ Job Club recently went on an overnight “mystery trip,” where the destination of the trip was not revealed to attendees until they arrived in Cincinnati.
Highlights of the trip included watching a Major League baseball game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals at the Great American Ball Park. The group was treated to unlimited hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, nachos and soft drinks and received complimentary blankets upon their entry into the stadium that morning.
The following day, members visited Newport Aquarium and Union Station.
Club members earned money for the trip by participating in various fundraisers, including the sale of Krispy Kreme donuts in August and February.
Donna Voorhies of Donna’s Excursions coordinated the trip.
