[ How Far Do You Travel? ]

We will go as far as you need us to go.  All you have to do is get us to your location and home. Events under 225 miles away can be driven. However, events further away will in many cases require air transportation, as well as any events that cause a time crunch due to travel. Of course, all of this is negotiable and can be discussed further.

 

[ How Are Travel Arrangements Made? ]

 All arrangements are made by speaking with Kim in the Tsunami Ministries Office. The hiring agency will make all airline & lodging arrangements after confirming with the Tsunami Office. If the event is within driving distance travel fee will be $.485 per mile (that is Uncle Sam's number) and the total miles will be measured from the Tsunami Ministries Office to the Venue and back.

 

[ How Much Do You Charge? ]

-1 night event within 100 miles of Winston-Salem, NC: $250*
