Trips to Poland,
Slovakia & the Tatras
Traveling
with TARG Members to the Old Country 
Helene Cincebeaux's
2011 Treasures Tours are currently booking!
Helene Cincebeaux Has
Released Her Schedule of Four New Tours for 2011.
Tour #1 (June 22-July 2) is her "Slovak Art,
Crafts, Villages & Castles" tour in Slovakia. Tour #2
(July 8-17) is her 23rd annual "Treasures of Slovakia"
tour in Slovakia & Austria. Tour #3 (July 17-25) is her "Five
Countries, Five Cultures" tour in Hungary,
Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic & Austria. Tour #4 (July
27-August 9) is her "Off the Beaten Path Adventure"
in Serbia, Romania & Carpathian Ukraine. TARG members may
especially find her #1 and #2 tours popular as each are scheduled
to travel through the Tatra area. Anyone who knows Helene knows
she is very flexible and can probably make any of her tours work
for you with a guide and a car to take you to your ancestal village
or an archive, then rejoining the main group and tour bus later.
She can also help arrange to have you stay on after the tour
if you so desire. If you want more information please contact
Helene directly by calling toll free: 888-529-7150, e-mailing
her at helenezx@aol.com or by visit both tour websites at:
www.Our-Slovakia.com and www.treasuretours.com.

Late 2011 begins TARG's
13th Anniversary!
Yes, it all started back in November
of 1998. For those interested in a special TARG Tour to the Tatras
in the future please e-mail your thoughts to:
targ_net@hotmail.com. NOTE: I've
heard from a few of you so far. Thank you for your comments!
I'd like to hear from more TARG members on this subject, too.
The best flights and accommodation prices are between September
and May. September 1st through November 1st and again mid-March
through May 1st would be ideal (fewer crowds, no archives closed
or parish priests gone for summer vacation, decent weather, and
everything's more affordable then).

trip to the Tatras in early March 2003!
