<h2>What is Buckit Week?</h2>

<p>In a nutshell, Buckit Week is a time of intensive, systematic
teaching of the Word of God in areas of key Bible concepts.</p>
<% if @main_event && @main_event.topic_list.size > 0 -%>
Additionally
<ol>
<% @main_event.topic_list.each do |topic| -%>
<li><%=h topic %></li>
<% end -%>
</ol>
<% end -%>

<p>That's a lot of material to cover in 5 days time, so don't plan
on eating or sleeping. Ok maybe a little, but it is going to be
intensive.
</p>
<p>This year, Buckit week will be different than in the
past. Buckit week <%= @event_year %> will be a speaker's week—a time devoted to
working on messages with brothers. The number of participants will
determine the venue/lodging and somewhat the structure of the
week. Though the exact structure will be dependent on the
attendees, we will generally be working on actual messages
(already given or to be given) along with general principles of
communicating truth. We also plan to prayerfully learn from each
other during the days together.</p>

<h2>Is this a repeat of Buckit Week <%= @event_year - 1 %>?</h2>
<p>The format is very similar but almost all of the material is new for <%= @event_year %>.</p>
<% if @main_event %>
<p>It is scheduled to be held <%= @main_event.event_date_string %>
at or near <%= @main_event.location %>.</p>
<% end %>

<h2>Does this mean Buckit Week is just for &quot;advanced&quot; students of the Bible?</h2>
<p>Not at all. There will be men and women at various stages
in their Christian growth and experience. A good attitude toward
learning during this week is more important than an advanced background.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, Buckit Week is a time of intensive, systematic
teaching of the Word of God in areas of key Bible concepts.
However, for <%= @event_year %>, Buckit Week will be a special week for
speakers. Our time will be concentrated on the preparation and
delivery of messages.</p>


<h2>Will there be time to fellowship with the other believers there?</h2>
<p>Yes! - the meals and breaks will be great times for this. Some of the
homework will also lend itself to working together.</p>

<h2>When is Buckit Week?</h2>
<% if @main_event %>
<p><b><%= @main_event.event_date_string %></b> This is a <%= @main_event.start_day_of_week%>
evening through <%=@main_event.end_day_of_week%> evening. The reason for the scheduling is
to allow people to be part of Buckit Week and still have time to
rest from (or rest for) another activity the previous (or next)
week.</p>
<% else %>
<p>Nothing is definite yet. Check back later on this one.</p>
<% end %>
<h2>Is this a repeat of Buckit Week <%= @event_year - 1 %>?</h2>

<h2>Where is Buckit Week?</h2>
<% if @main_event %>
<p>Buckit Week <%= @main_event.year %> will be held in the
<%=h @main_event.hotel %> in <%=h @main_event.location %>.
This <%= @main_event.hotel_confirmed? ? "is" : "will be"%> a nice
hotel with lots of
amenities convenient to the needs of this week. Specific
questions about any Buckit Week
arrangements should be made through <%= link_to 'Buckit week
contacts', :controller => 'welcome', :action => 'contact' %>
rather than direct contact with the hotel.</p>
<% else %>
<p>Nothing is definite yet. Check back later on this one.</p>
<% end %>
<p>Not at all. This is the first time we are holding the special
week for brothers.</p>

<h2>Does this mean Buckit Week is just for &quot;advanced&quot;

<p>No—there will be men at various stages in their Christian growth

more important than an advanced background.</p>

<h2>Will there be time to fellowship with the other believers there?</h2>

<p>Yes! - The meals and breaks will be great times for this. Much
of the work on messages will lend itself to working together.</p>

<p>TBD.</p>
<% end %>

<h2>Where is Buckit Week?</h2>

<% if @main_event %>
<p>Buckit Week <%= @event_year %> will be held at or near
<%= @main_event.location %>. The
exact details of the lodging and meeting venue will be dependent on
the number of attendees. We have always been pleased with our
accommodations, and we do not expect this year to be different.</p>
<% else %>
<p>TBD</p>
<% end %>

<h2>What if I am flying in for Buckit Week?</h2>

<p>The best airports to fly into probably will be in the
Washington, DC area. Rides should be able to be arranged. The three
Washington airports are Washington-Dulles (IAD), Reagan-National
(DCA), and Baltimore-Washington (BWI).</p>

<h2>What is the cost for Buckit Week?</h2>

<% if @main_event %>
<p>The week's activities are being provided for a very low
registration fee of $<%= @main_event.registration_cost %> per
person. This includes meals and lodging. The true cost of the week
is more than this amount, but we want to encourage those whom the
Lord may be leading to attend and who will be most likely to
benefit from the week's activities. To this end we are looking to
the Lord and operating in dependence on Him to supply the
needs.</p>
<% else %>
<p>TBD</p>
<% end %>

<h2>Who can attend Buckit Week?</h2>

<p>While Buckit Week is normally for brothers and sisters,
<%= @event_year %>
will be a brothers only week. We are seeking a wide range of
ages. Traditionally, Buckit Week has been geared toward the 18- 30+
age range. However, this year the topic of training (preparation
and delivery of messages) will dictate the attendees. That is, any
brother led to engage in this area of training is welcome to
attend. All attendees will be expected to be active participants in
the workshop sessions, including practicing message delivery.</p>

<h2>Why use &guot;University&quot; in the description of the week?</h2>

<p>The reason is to accurately distinguish the week from other
kinds of good, week-long activities like camps and conferences.</p>

<h2>Is Buckit Week just another week-long conference?</h2>

<p>No. The teaching at Buckit Week is in a classroom setting, with
tables, notebooks, resources, homework, and exams (not scary ones,
though!)</p>

<h2>Is Buckit Week a camp?</h2>

<p>No. First, it is not held at a camp. Second, the goals are
different than any &quot;camp&quot; we know about.</p>

<h2>Will Buckit Week be boring?</h2>

<p>HEY--We're calling it Buckit Week! Enough said!</p>

<h2>When should I register?</h2>

<p>As soon as you can commit to it. While we will seek to find
appropriate lodging for the number attending, we could still fill
up.</p>

<h2>Who is involved with Buckit week?</h2>

<p>Special thanks to all those who put in a lot of effort in the
preparations for Buckit Week <%= @event_year %>, there are many. Craig Shakarji
will be directing the activities during the week.</p>

<h2>What if I am flying in for Buckit Week?</h2>
<p> The best airports to fly into probably will be in the
Washington, DC area. Enough people will be attending from there
that rides can be arranged. The three Washington airports are
Washington-Dulles (<a href="http://www.metwashairports.com/Dulles/" title="IAD" target="_new">IAD</a>), Reagan-National (<a href="http://www.metwashairports.com/national/" title="DCA" target="_new">DCA</a>), and
Baltimore-Washington (<a href="http://www.bwiairport.com/" title="BWI Airport" target="_new">BWI</a>). There is a very small regional airport in
Hagerstown itself (<a href="http://www.flyhagerstown.com/" title="HGR" target="_new">HGR</a>), but we expect the fares could be higher
there and flights there might be harder to find.</p>

<h2>What is the cost for Buckit Week?</h2>
<p>The week's activities are being provided for a very low
registration fee of $<%=@main_event ? @main_event.registration_cost : "(TBD)"%> per person.
This includes meals and
lodging in the hotel at 3 persons per room. The true cost of the
the week is more than this amount, but we want to encourage those
whom the Lord may be leading to attend and who will be most likely
to benefit from the week's activities. To this end we are looking
to the Lord and operating in dependence on Him to supply the
needs.</p>

<h2>Who can attend Buckit Week?</h2>
<p>We are seeking a wide range of ages. While the week could be
seen as generally geared for 18-30+, it is also geared for some in
the <%= AgeRange.ordered[0].to_s %> age range who would benefit greatly and are certainly
encouraged to come with special permission. Please <%= link_to 'contact the registrar', :controller => 'welcome', :action => 'contact' %> for specific guidance if you are in that range and
wish to attend. The maxiumum suggested age for Buckit Week is
45. Married couples are welcome, but contact the registrar
for extra information.</p>

<p>HEY--We're calling it Buckit Week! Enough said!</p>

<h2>When should I register?</h2>
<p>As soon as you can commit to it. The room size and number or
participants varies from year to year so do not delay unnecessarily.</p>

preparations for Buckit Week <%= @event_year %>, there are many.
Craig and Allie Shakarji will be directing the activities during the
week.</p>

<h2>How can I help?</h2>

<p>Please pray for the activities during Buckit Week. Pray that those
whom the Lord would want to attend will be there and will find benefit
in this concentrated time of study. Pray for the speakers. Pray for
safety during travel for those attending from out of town.</p>

<p>As the Lord may lead, individuals or assemblies may make tax
deductible contributions toward Buckit Week expenses beyond what
is covered by the registration fee. Checks can be made out to
<strong>Buckit Week</strong>, and mailed to
