>From efenster Tue Jan 30 09:03:46 1996 >From efenster Tue Jan 30 09:03:46 1996 Date: Tue, 30 Jan 1996 09:03:46 -0800 From: Eric Fenster <efenster> To: efenster Subject: Moscow study trips: 1996 ==> ATTN: PREVIOUS RESPONDENTS SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM Concerning the 1996 study trips to Moscow: 14 May-14 June and 22 June-23 July ... Anybody still deciding whether to participate (or who would like to learn the detailed information) should contact me quickly as certain deadlines are approaching. For example, by mid-February I must back airplane seat reservations with deposits. The accommodations for the 2-day stopover in Brussels must also be confirmed. As a reminder, the trips examine the political and economic changes in Russia, have been organized for 16 years and are open to all adults. Participants who are students and desire university credits may earn them. No knowledge of Russian is necessary (though intensive language study is also an option). The first trip will occur during the Russian presidential campaign and incorporate relevant activities. The second will add a focus on education issues in Russia if the makeup of the group is appropriate. An anecdotal account from the June 1995 trip is available by e-mail on request. All replies should be sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not to the conference/list. For the record... Over the years hundreds of people examined the courses and vowed to go "next year." I recently tallied things up and found that of the last 268 participants only 2 went after the first year they learned about the courses! Unless it was made the priority, there was always another reason for postponement. ======= NOTE: Because of a theft last week, records of respondents from this and previous years have been lost. If you wish to restore contact or to be sure of future notification in case you cannot come this year, please write. Thanks, Eric
