Six New Year's resolutions for travelers
A light-hearted list for the year ahead — starting with never getting left behind (unless you're still in the hotel buffet line).
Read the storyIn December 2020, Making Memories with Mary began with no contact list at all — just a love of travel and a belief, after two months of prayer, that this was the right path.
A celebration to remember
On September 25, 2025, travelers gathered at the Eagles Club in Fond du Lac to mark the business’s five-year anniversary. It was quite an evening:
- Collette’s President and CEO joined the celebration
- Five $100 Collette travel vouchers were given away in a drawing
- The 2026 trips were presented
- And two new 2027 journeys were launched: Kingdoms of Southeast Asia and Shades of Ireland
“Celebrating this milestone of having my travel business for five years was beyond my wildest dreams.”
For Mary, the best part was the people: “It was amazing seeing so many familiar faces, and I’m anxious to create even more travel memories together.”
By the numbers
In those first five years, groups traveled to more than 20 countries and well over a dozen states — by plane, by motorcoach and by river cruise. And in 2026, the 1,000th person joined the travel list.
“I’m truly blessed that so many of you trust me to be your guide to see God’s awesome world!”
