There will be two final information conference calls for Workshop 61 participants and families. During these conference calls some information from the final packet (sent out above) will be gone over, as well as a few more pieces of information about the coming Workshop 61 Program. It will also be a chance for Workshop Participants and Families to ask questions to Workshop Program organizers. Both Leon, Workshop Program Coordinator in Israel, and myself will be on the call to answer any questions you may have. Afterwards, a write-up of all information that was gone over, as well as any pertinent questions that came up will be sent out. There are two possible times to call in, it is okay for any family to call in to either one.

The phone calls will be on Sunday and Monday August 14 & 15 at 1:30pm Eastern Time

To call in dial 1-219-509-8222 and when prompted dial access code 6817798

4. Dutch Habonim Workshop Group

For the past few years, the Habonim Dror Holland Workshop Program has been run in parallel with the North America's Workshop program. Typically, HDNL (Habonim Dror Netherlands) sends between 3-8 particpants who are added on to the British program for the year. This year, because of changes to English fiscal policies, which in turn drastically affected University tuition prices, there will be no British Workshop Group. However, there are 6 Dutch participants coming who will now be joining North America's Workshop 61 Program. They will be integrated into one of the American Workshop kvutzot for the entire program and we are very excited to have them joining us this year.

Please be sure that both participants and their families see all of the information included in this email. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

B'shalom
Ari
