2 FESTIVALS

TOUR FOR MBSI MEMBERS TO

ITALY AND ROMANIA

SEPT 2-17, 2007

Dear Friends,

This letter is addressed to past participants on our tours.

As you look over the offer, I am sure you will agree that the itinerary is most interesting. The 2 Festivals are magnificent displays of love and passion for our hobby, taking place in picturesque towns off the beaten path, where you will experience living as the locals do. In a few years life these places will change completely as the case of Romania, which is adopting western ways

Rome and Ravenna are two magnificent capitals in Italy, and Bucharest and Iasi are their Romanian counterparts. You have a chance to experience fabled Transylvania, home of legendary Dracula, and see the Outside Painted Monasteries of Moldavia, real gems of medieval art.

As in the past, the strength of this all-inclusive trip is the destination(s), the two festivals, the price and the MBSI fellowship of our group. A tour of similar length to other places in Western Europe would cost these days $1-1,500 more.  The camaraderie of our group makes travel fun, secure and easy to operate.

I feel sure there will be enough participation (min. 20 members) to successfully operate this tour. If you want to be part of it, I urge you to send in your deposit at your earliest opportunity. If you have questions, please e-mail me. If you know of another person interested in this tour please forward. Thank you.

Best personal regards

Nick Lerescu
