Calling All Kaz Families

 Registration for Kazapalooza is now open!

Kazapalooza is always a fun (and if I'm perfectly honest pretty crazy& hectic) weekend, but this year I'm even more excited than usual because this year, I'm serving as lead event planner and we are meeting in my home state of O.H.I.O!

At first I was worried that humble old Midwest Ohio would seem like a let down after last year's picture perfect weekend at St Pete's Beach but as we develop our program I'm feeling like this Palooza is going to be just as fantastic here on the North Coast!

If you adopted from Kazakhstan and you are interested in attending Kazapalooza 2012 you can register here.

Here's some more info...

Kazapalooza is a weekend long reunion of families with children adopted from Kazakhstan as well as fundraiser for charitable projects for Kazakhstan orphans . Each year since its inception in 2008 the event has grown bigger and bigger and last year more than 300 moms, dads and kaz kids joined in the fun.

Kazapalooza 2012 is being held on the shores of Lake Erie in Sandusky Ohio. The hotel this year is the incredible Kalahari Resort, America's largest indoor water park! Come kick off your summer vacation at Kazapalooza 2012!
