In May we received a letter from the U.S. Treasury Department approving our application to take a group of LIR members to Cuba in April 2012. We were thrilled that our application was approved because of the difficulty of obtaining such a license from the U.S. government. This license permits us, unlike other tour groups, to fly directly to Cuba from the U.S. A People to People tour is an experience that focuses on the lifestyle, institutions and issues associated with Cuba and allows participants to enjoy a great deal of direct contact the Cuban people. The study tour will leave from Miami on April 15 and return on April 25. We will be visiting the cities of Camaguey, the third largest city in Cuba and declared a national monument for its beautifully restored plazas, and Trinidad, Cuba’s best preserved colonial city. In addition, we will travel to Santiago, where Fidel Castro went to school and finally, Havana, Cuba’s capitol and a city with a flavor all its own. For a detailed itinerary and costs contact the Office of Continuing Education 608.785.6500. The number of tour participants will be limited. Burt and Norma Altman, Tour Directors
