Hi Mimi,
My printer broke down so without printing out your suggestions, I will have
to rely on memory:
As far as duration is concerned, I suppose for the people living in Israel
this is not a critical point because in this respect we can be flexible. 3
days would be good.
To point 4) The best place would be Tel-Aviv, option Haifa, but I think the
majority should decide.
I don't know exactly what you mean by exclusive or inclusive. I believe that
the people who have no connection with Czernowitz, would not be interested
to join anyway! As far as family and descendants are concerned: again, for
instance my own children would be interested I am sure, my son who lives in
Germany would certainly come, about daughter plus family in San Diego
remains to be seen.

About journalists: In this respect the "Die Stimme" staff could be of
assistance and advise who would be suitable and who would not.
I do hope that Lya Koening, an avid Czernowitzer, would once more be willing
to be in charge of entertainment, she should be asked.
One festive meal would be nice, I remember with pleasure the one we had in
the Dan Tel-Aviv, actually we had two, one cocktail party and one dinner.
And of course there would be tales to tell - provided not all of it has been
told in the course of the Czernowitz reunion.
In any case, I would be prepared to give a helping hand and not retire into
passivity as I did regarding the Czernowitz reunion. In truth, I was simply
sad that I couldn't join!
I do hope it will happen1
Love, Lucca
