Early Deadline for Registration for Kazakh Aul

I am happy to announce that the Early Bird registration deadline for the
Kazakh Aul of the US' 6th annual heritage camp for families has been
extended! To get the best rates, the new Early Bird deadline is MARCH 29,
2010.

IMPORTANT: A variety of housing options are still available; however, at
this time some housing is filling up. Rooms are assigned based in the order
in which registrations are received and family need. If you are interested
in coming and want to get the best rates and your first choice housing, you
are encouraged to register soon.

Zhailau 2010 will be held July 26-31 in New Hampshire. Each year more than
100 people come together to celebrate Kazakh culture, including special
Kazakh teachers and friends who will be returning to perform and teach our
children. Please visit the Kazakh Aul of the US' website to download all
information and registration forms at www.kazakh-aul-us.org.

Please read all Zhailau materials carefully and complete the registration
forms thoroughly. Early Bird Rates are available if you submit your fully
completed forms and 1st deposit no later than March 29, 2010. Checks or
money orders please; we are unable to accept credit cards at this time.

The Zhailau Planning Committee is comprised of parent volunteers who have
day jobs. Please feel free to contact us anytime, and know that we will do
our best to answer as quickly as we are able. If you have any questions
please email info@kazakh-aul-us.org

Finally, please help spread the word about Zhailau 2010 if you can, feel
free to forward this email. :-)

Thanks and hope to see you in July. We can't wait!
