Hi Safranim, I know we're just a few days into 2018, but I wanted to get some feedback on a new trip to Amherst we are planning for after the upcoming June conference in Boston. I need to make a decision soon regarding the possibility of running the excursion since I need to sign contracts with the hotel and bus company. If we don't have any interest, then we will let it go, but....it should be a lot of fun and I am hoping for enough registrants to make it happen.
See the full itinerary below-We are visiting the Rich Michelson Galleries, The Eric Carle Museum and the Yiddish Book Center and getting private tours and also staying overnight in an historic Northampton hotel. Click on any of the links below to see photos. What you need to do if you are interested: REPLY TO ME stating that you would like to be added to the list. There are a limited number of spaces. You do not have pay anything, as the payment will be required by the end of April, but I do need to know how many would like to come. You should also know that the conference committee is also planning afternoon Wednesday tours for attendees, like a visit to the Harvard Library and other possible places still in the planning stages and you may want to stay in Boston to see those things.
