[Cz-L] Re: czernowitz-l digest: January 14, 2007

Dear Danny and organizing committee,
What a surprize, and not necessarily a pleasant one! It seems that
everything has been turned upside-down, without any previous information
or previous
consultation with the members of the Reunion who initiated this.
Suddenly the Reunion is not in charge of the organization as it seems.
The World Organization of
Bukowinian Jews took over and changed the previous time-table. My
husband had applied for vacation in his orchestra at the end of March to
attend the meeting
and we were on the brink of booking flights, and now it will not be
possible to come. We were really looking forward to this.
(Am I correct in assuming that while we were in Czernowitz, a parallel
group of the Bukowinian Jews from Israel was with us in the hotel and
that there was hardly
any communication betwen the groups, which was a little bit odd and
surprising, even considering different time-tables).
There seems to be a lack of consideration for the members of the Reunion
and other people from abroad,who were not asked whether they could
attend in April, and are faced now, at very short notice, to change
plans. It is easier for those living in Israel. Supposedly many people
will not attend any more, being disappointed by the "imposed" programme
and not very professional handling. Could this be the reason for Mimi
Taylor's resignation from the organizing committee?
Sorry, but this is the way I see it, and I am sure other members will
see it the same way.
