We have received countless e-mails from families wanting to come to Kazapalooza. Unfortunately, registration is closed and we are unable to accomodate more people for the entire event. If you would like the reasons for this please see earlier posts. Having said this, we want to include as many families as we can and if you live near Chicago or want to come to Chicago, any family is more then welcome to come to the luncheon and the Aqarium on Saturday June 14th. We will have more information about the Aqarium closer to the time. The luncheon tickets may be purchased by clicking on the Paypal link on the sidebar. The price is $26.75 per person over 6. Children from 2-6 are $5 which can be paid at the door. If you mail me a check then the price is $25 per person. The luncheon is at Grace O'Malleys which is in the South Loop. The price includes a buffet lunch, non-alcoholic beverages and entertainment. We will have entertainers for the kids. We will also have a raffle and all sorts of things going on for the adults.

PLEASE make an effort to be at the luncheon. We CAN'T make any exceptions and must have all reservations by March 30th.
