CARNIVAL CRUISE TO THE BEAUTIFUL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
January 2013









    Welcome to the Special Excursions Travel Club.  

    Based in Southern California we provide socialization
    opportunities and supervised tours  for our members
    in a safe and friendly environment.  

    There are no membership dues or fees.

    You do need to be 18 years of age to join and have a
    developmental disability.  The majority of our members
    are in supported employment,  supported living and
    independent living programs and are able to get
    around independently using the Los Angeles County
    METRO system, the Metro Link and AMTRAK.

    Several use LAX and take off even further to visit family
    across the USA.   A few of our members are not so
    independent but they are learning.   To apply for
    membership all you have to do is fill out the 3 page
    application form and send it in.  If we have not worked
    with the individual who is applying then we will
    schedule an interview.

    We love to have our new members join us on those
    day trips.  It gives them a chance to meet other
    members.   A lot of friendships develop during those
    one day excursions around Southern California.      

    We have two methods of arranging tours.  Choose from
    our scheduled tours listed on the tour page.  The
    second method is a tour or an event that our members
    put together.  We coordinate the tour and supervise
    the group.  

    To see the scheduled tours please take a look at the
    tour page.   Also have a look at the photo and video
    pages.

    Welcome aboard!
