: 44th ROCOR Youth Conference – Syezd 2008 – Announcement

SYEZD 2008 ANNOUNCEMENT
TO YOUTH OF THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND DIOCESE

If you are 18 years or older then you should read about this offer!

Have you heard that this year’s Youth Conference will be unique? – it will be held at Coolangatta, Gold Coast, at a professional conference facility, and its for young people like you who are 18+. Its for 4 nights/5 days at a special venue and a great location – the resort hotel is across the road from the beach. This is why the cost is more than usual. $400, which will cover meals, accommodation and all the fancy facilities.

We know that many of you are not working full time, or are studying and don’t have a great income. We also know that for most of you, getting to Coolangatta will involve airfare as well!

So, here’s an offer – if you want to go to Syezd this year, but simply can’t afford it, and that’s the only reason why you haven’t registered, then PLEASE LET US KNOW.

It’s easy – just write a note to Fr. Gabriel at fr.gabriel.makarov@rocor.org.au and indicate how much you can reasonably afford. We may be able to muster up some sponsorship to help you out.

We just don’t want you to miss out if cost is the only reason you can’t come. If you write, then we promise to do our best to help. But do it quickly – within the next 10 days!

With love in Christ,

Fr. Gabriel Makarov
