California State Fair Entry is a Winner for Travel Club Members Entry in Global Travel Network Drawing Made Holiday Brighter

The holidays were very bright for a lucky California family who entered a drawing at the California State Fair last summer. The winners received a $2500 Target Gift Card in time to buy all their important gifts.

Global Connections, Inc. (GCI), the highly respected resort developer, travel club fulfillment and service provider, proudly announces the Grand Prize winners in an annual giveaway held by its authorized distributor Global Travel Network (GTN).

According to Scott Nichols, President of GTN (http://www.GlobalTravelNetwork.com), Sharlene and Jose Martinez of Live Oak, California were named this year’s grand prize winners in the annual drawing. The couple’s name was selected randomly from entries made at various venues during the past year, including Home and Garden Shows, International Auto Shows, and booths at state and county fairs to name a few.

Sharlene Martinez was thrilled with the winning. “This is very exciting to receive. It definitely helped out with our Holiday shopping…it’s perfect timing,” she said. “I couldn’t wait to go to the store and look around.”
