Burgundy River Cruise
Practically tailor-made for pleasure
cruising, the network of rivers and
centuries-old canals that crisscross
Burgundy, Frances fabled wineproducing dpartement, are simply the
best way to explore central France on the
sly. Life unfolds at a different pace in this

is that more obvious than from the deck
of a piloted river barge (or peniche) that
doubles as your floating hotel.
As the capital of Burgundys wine
country, Beaune is practically a holy site
for oenophiles. Step off the canal boat
for a spell and take an optional stroll
through this amazingly well-preserved
medieval city to investigate its legions
of underground wine cellars, gorgeous
laneways, and centuries of Roman and
Gallic history.

Class Spotlight
Fundraising
Fundamentals
Paul F. Morris
For many people, if given a choice, they
would rather eat glass than ask someone
for money, even in support of a cause
that they are personally passionate about.
In Fundraising Fundamentals, Paul tries to
demystify where money comes from, what
motivates someone to give charitably,
and to illuminate how to not only ask
people for a charitable gift but how to
build a sustainable approach to giving.
