Tayere Fraynt,
With KlezKamp23 now behind us — widely regarded as the best KK to date
— we have a busier than usual time ahead of us. Our normal settling
in after the conclusion of KK with its closing the account books,
unpacking our stuff and getting ready for our expanded bevy of new
programmatic ideas — has been seriously disrupted by news of our
imminent eviction from our offices by the Workmen's Circle who own the
building. Though serious, this is NOT the first time it's happened to
us (to date we've had three other offices shot out from under us in our
nearly 14 years as an organization.)
Though serious, and even while we are not, as of this writing, sure where we
will be in the coming months (anyone in our extended community who
has, or who knows where we might get modestly priced Manhattan office
space please contact us) I can assure you that wherever we will
be we will be, as usual, excitedly planning for our next KlezKamp.
Please check back in for updates, or, if you don't already receive
our irregular e-blasts, please drop us a note and we'll put you
on the list.
In any case,
Henry "Hank" Sapoznik
Founder and Director, KlezKamp
Executive Director, Living Traditions
