Late 2008 also begins TARG's 10th Anniversary!

 Shouting Newspaper Boy Dressed in Goral OutfitYes, it all started back in November of 1998. So from November 2008 through October 2009 will be our 10th Anniversary Year! For those interested in a special TARG Tour to the Tatras during that time 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).
