It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since the launch of the Auto Europe Blog! To celebrate we did some digging around in the archives here in Portland, Maine to take a look at our own heritage. These images were scanned in from a brochure dating all the way back to 1971. One of the older Auto Europe Logos Europe is Different! How things have changed!(Click for larger image)
Do these images look familiar to you? How long have you been renting with Auto Europe?
Auto Europe is proud to present our new series of multimedia presentations. For the past 3 months, we have been working on creating music, gathering images, writing scripts, and recording voice overs for our series of travel shorts. Here’s an example of what we have been doing.
Have an idea that you feel we could expand upon? Maybe there’s a destination, festival, or event you know of in Europe that warrants it’s own video! Leave a comment and let us know!
Millions of Americans like to contribute time and money to charities during the holidays. However this year, things may not be so easy. With our economy in a recession, it’s hard for many of us to find extra money to spare. One way that you can make a donation to someone who really needs it is by giving blood.
Donating blood is a great way to give something back to the community and help someone in need. Donated blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, anemia and other illnesses. Some people even need regular blood transfusions to live. Only five percent of the eligible population donates blood in a given year, and that’s not enough.
The entire process only takes about an hour. It starts with registration, where you fill out a brief questionnaire and show proper ID. You are then asked some quick general health questions while your blood pressure heart rate and iron levels get checked. Provided you meet the criteria, trained staff members will then draw a pint of blood, which takes about 10 minutes. After a snack and 15 minutes of monitoring, you are on your way.
Sounds easy enough, right? Then make the step this holiday season and donate blood. Each donation can save up to three lives, and you can donate again after only 56 days. You can visit www.givelife.org to find the closest blood drive to you.
From all of us here at Auto Europe, have a safe and happy holiday season.
