[Cz-L] Schedule for the Czernowitz Reunion 2006

Dear Czernowitzers,

I would like to apologize for not having kept you up to date about the
preparations for the Czernowitz Reunion 2006.

For a long time, nothing definite was being arranged or decided.
We were mostly collecting factual information and suggestions.

Recently I mailed the prospective participants a proposed schedule for
the reunion. As we make more precise arrangements, this schedule may
need to be refined, but it seems to be generally acceptable and should give
anyone considering joining the reunion a good idea of our likely program.

This is the proposed schedule:

Thursday May 18: Arrival and registration.
                    20:00 social get-together, possibly a joint light dinner
                    at the hotel Cheremosh.
  Friday May 19: 9:00 - 12:30 group walk of the center of Czernowitz
                    16:00 - 18:30 talk/discussion
                    19:00 Friday evening prayers at local synagogue
  Saturday May 20: 9:00 - 12:30 individual walks to specific areas of town
                    16:00 - 18:30 talk/discussion
                    20:30 - cake coffee or tea with local Jewish residents
  Sunday May 21: 9:30 memorial service at Jewish cemetery
                    16:00 - 18:30 talk/discussion
                    20:30 - cake and coffee to which we might invite the
                    mayor if many of us feel this to be desirable.
  Monday May 22: Free morning, individual visits to archives, cemetery, or
                    day trips.
                    16:00/18:30 talk/discussion
                    Free evening, possibly a music and or dance performance
                    at the theatre.
                    Tuesday May 23: Free day, trip to Transnistria for
                    some, day trips, visits to cemetery, archives, etc. for
                    others.
                    Free evening
  Wednesday May 24: Free morning, individual day trips, visits to archives,
                    cemetery or specific areas of town.
                    16:00 - 18:30 talk/discussion
                    20:30 after dinner farewell party and discussion.
  Thursday May 25: Departure

  All outdoor activities are of course dependent upon suitable weather. The
  schedule allows for a number of free mornings, these could be utilized for
  activities scheduled for other mornings if those are rained out.

  The exact time of the Friday evening service will be known after consulting
  the rabbi.

  Also, the social get-together planned for the first evening, may have to be
  rescheduled if many of us arrive in Chernivtsi too late that evening.
