Dear Traveler,
             In 1992 we established Grand Circle Foundation, an entity of the
             Lewis Family Foundation, as a means to give back to the world that
             had already given us so much. Since then, we’ve pledged or donated
             more than $225 million worldwide to support the education of young
             people, the conservation of natural resources for future generations,
             and the preservation of international treasures and UNESCO World
             Heritage Sites.
             Grand Circle Foundation is also there when crisis unfolds in the world.
             The almost universal condemnation of Russia’s recent actions against
             Ukraine has resulted in an unprecedented outpouring of support for          Foundation funds are supporting Ukrainians like this family
                                                                                            who has found safe haven at a shelter in Romania.
             Ukrainian refugees and orphans. Through the kind generosity of
             our travelers, friends, and associates, we have raised more than $2.5
             million to assist Ukrainians who have had their lives upended.

             As of June 1, $1,925,000 of relief aid in the form of clothing, food,
             medicine, and other items in short supply are getting directly into
             the hands of Ukrainian refugees at shelters in Poland and Romania.
             The Alnoba Lewis Family Foundation and Grand Circle Foundation
             have also made a donation of $200,000 to the Joint Distribution
             Committee (JDC), which is supporting a number of elderly
             Ukrainians who have been unwilling or unable to leave Ukraine and
             are now struggling to survive.
                                                                                           Through our partnership with Wine to Water, we're also
             Thank you for traveling with us, and for                                       helping to bring clean water to Ukrainian refugees.
             helping to change people’s lives.

             Warm regards,
