With the help of the American Cancer Society and Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Southampton Hospital.

Southampton, NY October 1, 2010 – Hampton Jitney in partnership with Vector Media, Southampton Hospital and The American Cancer Society is bringing breast cancer awareness to our local communities by wrapping one of their coaches Pink.  The special pink coach will provide daily service to and from Manhattan and the East End of Long Island. Passengers that ride on the pink coach will have the ability to make a donation to the American Cancer Society in their efforts to raise awareness and find a cure for this disease.

 “Our coaches are seen by thousands everyday and by wrapping our coach in pink with this message we are helping raise awareness about this disease and a local resource at Southampton Hospital” says President Geoffrey Lynch.

Hampton Jitney is raising money by offering passengers the opportunity to add $1, $5, or $10 to their fares on all trips, 100% of the money raised will be donated to the American Cancer Society. The dollars donated will help breast cancer patients find a ride to treatment or a free place to stay. For more information please visit www.cancer.org or call 1-800-227-2345.

Iceland Airwaves – Blue Lagoon

The annual Iceland Airwaves music festival started yesterday in one of Reykjavík´s swimming pools. This venue was chosen carefully and there were loudspeakers in the water as well as on the walls. Until Sunday concerts can be heard all over town –  the tickets are sold out and there will be over 250 bands and groups playing, making the whole affair an exciting and much sought after adventure. Many of the bands have curious names like Æla (Vomit), Varsjárbandalagið (The Warshaw Pact), Neo Indian, Human Woman and so on. Reykjavik Excursions – Kynnisferdir offer a special tour for all who want to join to the Blue Lagoon on Saturday – it´s called Chill Out and we are very happy that more than 400 guests have already booked and paid for the tour – and there are more to come! DJ´s will blast their loudspeakers to the top at the Blue Lagoon and even a part of Iceland´s Symphony Orchestra will be there – weather permitting.

Celebrating its fifth year, the International Internet Governance Forum was held in Vilnius, Lithuania on 4-17 September 2010, attracting 1200 participants to this most attractive of East European cities. With visitors from almost 70 countries arriving, staying in a range of accommodations across the city, Ollex Transport and its partner hotels successfully co-operated with the conference organisers and government bodies to ensure the entire event went off without hitch, participants commenting on the high standard of service, the warm welcome and the appeal of the city. Ollex Transport now looks forward to the challenge of organising services for future seminars and exhibitions.
