Zhailau Culture Camp through the Kazakh Aul

Below is information from Susan Saxon regarding the Kazakh Aul's Culture Camp this summer. Contact her for information on attending their event.

Greetings!

I am delighted to help spread the word that the Kazakh Aul of the US – a
nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that promotes Kazakh culture and cultural
education – is busy preparing for its 6th annual heritage camp for families
– Zhailau 2010 – that will be held July 26-31 in New Hampshire.

We are excited to see old friends and welcome new ones, including special
Kazakh teachers and friends who will be returning to perform and teach our
children. Please visit the Kazakh Aul of the US' website to download all
information and registration forms at www.kazakh-aul-us.org.

Please read all Zhailau materials carefully and complete the registration
forms thoroughly. Note that Early Bird Rates are available if you submit
your fully completed forms and 1st deposit no later than February 22, 2010.
Checks or money orders please; we are unable to accept credit cards at this
time.

The Zhailau Planning Committee is comprised of parent volunteers who have
day jobs. Please feel free to contact us anytime, and know that we will do
our best to answer as quickly as we are able. If you have any questions
please email info@kazakh-aul-us.org

Finally, please help spread the word about Zhailau 2010 if you can, feel
free to forward this email. :-)

Thanks and hope to see you in July. We can't wait!

REGISTRATION CLOSED - Read Below.

As of 1/12/10, registration is officially closed. However, if you are still interested in attending and have not registered, please e-mail me (Michelle Sapp - SpEduc8er@aol.com) and let me know. You still might be able to attend if we have families that cannot attend later. Each year we have had this happen, so I will place you on a waiting list and contact you if there is a spot that opens. We regret the fact that we cannot take everyone that is interest in attending, as we would love to have all who want to come have the opportunity. We just don't have enough space to allow it.

If you haven't done so already, please don't forget to pay for your lunches.

We will be getting information to you in the next couple weeks about the slideshow.

YIKES! About 20 more spots!

Spots are filling up fast! This is wonderful, but also unfortunate that due to space restrictions, we have to turn people away. If you really want to attend, please send me your registration, FEES, and book your hotel. Do not assume that just because you turned in your registration, you are coming. Because we have so much interest, I need your fees turned in as well to assure your space. I can't assume you will be coming based only on your form.

We are really excited about all the interest!

***Registration/Fees/Hotel***

*****PLEASE NOTE WE ONLY HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR 70 FAMILIES. ONCE THE SPOTS ARE FILLED, REGISTRATION WILL BE CLOSED. AS OF 1/7/10 WE ARE HALF FULL.

We are so very excited about all the interest in Kazapalooza 2010 this year! Just a friendly reminder that if you are seriously interested in attending, you are strongly encouraged to register, pay, and book your hotel soon. As much as we'd LOVE to accommodate all who are interested each year, unfortunately sometimes we just don't have the meeting space big enough (our banquet room can only hold 300 people). We can never anticipate interest each year, and it seems as though 2010 has generated a lot (which is wonderful)! However, to ensure you will be a part of this event, please don't hesitate in registering, paying your fees, and booking your hotel. To date, I was just informed (thank you, Kerry) that all suites are gone. They do have something called a, "King Junior" for $169.00. This has a king bed and sitting room with pull out sofa separated by folding door, if anyone is interested. I am seeing a lot of familiar families registering and many new families as well! Please note that you aren't completely registered until we have received your registration form and payment.

*** You may now pay for your lunch/main event. We do not include this in the registration fee because it is different for each family who attends depending on the amount of people in each family. The lunch fee is $20.00 for adults and $11.00 for children. Unfortunately, you will have to individually purchase each ticket separately as an individual transaction, as this is how it is set up on Paypal. These fees will cover food, taxes, gratuity, and entertainment.

BREWERY TOUR:
WE WILL BE DEPARTING FROM THE LOBBY AT 2:15 SHARP ON SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE A SMALL FEE (TBD) FOR THE BUS WHICH WILL TAKE US TO AND FROM THE SPRECHER BREWERY TOUR WHICH IS $4 PER ADULT AND $2 PER CHILD. PLEASE INDICATE IN THE POLL ON THE SIDEBAR IF YOU WILL BE COMING. CHILDREN ARE WELCOME.
