Below is a personal invitation and description from H.G. Jananivas prabhu along with the e-pamphlet and donation list.

A personal Invitation

“Imagine a lake surrounded by flowering shrubs, illuminated by thousand of twinkling colored lights and with cooling water fountains shooting colorful droplets of water in the air, that gently cascade with a splashing sound, that accompanies the sweet kirtan, that permeates the entire atmosphere. In the center of the lake there is a pavilion which is covered with creeping flower vines, and within that grove there is an astonishing effulgent crystal Jhulan.  Suddenly, amidst a loud kirtan, Radha and Krsna appear being carried on a palanquin by their loving devotees. They cross the bridge and are seated on the Jhulan profusely decorated with flowers and gently swing, while being offered refreshments, arotiks and very unusual firework displays on the water. The devotees lovingly surround Sri Sri Radha Madhava and swing them to their hearts content, while gazing upon their splendid forms. No, No. This is not an imagination; it is not a dream and is it not a fairyland. It is real and it is happening now! Come to Mayapur Jhulan Yatra, a creation of the Mayapur Vaishnava Youth, with plenty of prasadam for all!!!” 
H.G. Jananivas Prabhu.
