BCAA Members are also welcome Well Travelled I had the first solo travel adventure of my life this past November – and it was inspired by BCAA Magazine! After reading about Hong Kong in the fall 2017 issue ("A Taste of Two Cities"), I decided to book a two-week trip to Hong Kong and Chiang Mai, Thailand. During my four days in Hong Kong, I used the online version of the story as a guide. I did the Star Ferry, Victoria Peak, dim sum, the Big Buddha, the beach and more. Thanks! –Sara Holland, Member & Employee to vote by proxy online, at a Service Location, by phone or by email, before 5 p.m., March 13, 2018.
