For
Members Only: TCC Info Files Directory
As
of March 2005, TCC Headquarters has received and published 453 Info
Files which have been distributed to members with the Centurian
newsletter. We have deleted from this directory the numbers for those
Files which have little information about a destination and those which
are generic rather than specific. We have also deleted some of the older
Files when we had Files with more recent dates -- unless the information
seemed to be applicable today. In the early days, dates were not included
on the Info Files so we have estimated the approximate years they were
written.
Obviously, if there is a blank space alongside
a country, it is because we have not received an Info File about that
location. We naturally receive more Info Files on the most unique or
hard-to-reach destinations. If you have traveled to any of these countries
in recent years, we welcome Info Files. We would also like updated Files
to replace some of our oldest Files. The information should be non-commercial
and contain your observations and information not found in the usual
guide books. Keep in mind that you are writing for the well-traveled
person since distribution is only to TCC members. Files must be typewritten,
single spaced, and not to exceed two pages.
The opinions expressed in these Info Files
are those of the writers and not the Travelers’ Century Club.
Back
issues of Info Files may be ordered from TCC Headquarters for $1.00
each. The cost for the entire set is $250; overseas should add $20 to
handle extra postage.
