LF REPRESENTATIVES

In 2008 we took over a special exhibit from Lithuania M. Mažvydas library, named “The First Surge” and brought into U.S. by Lithuanian Embassy as well as the consulate in Chicago – that exhibition was shown in Frackville (PA), New York, Elizabeth (NJ), Canada, New Britain & Hartford (CT), Philadelphia (PA) and now has just arrived to Cleveland (OH). In each of those locations Lithuanian Foundation is being promoted with the help of its booklets distributed, we are constantly looking for new members.

A teleconference of our regional representatives took place last year to brainstorm new ways for LF expansion - we decided to organize a series of concerts similar to those by two prominent Lithuanian singers Liveta & Petras Kazlauskai back in 2007 in order to promote the organization. When the annual LF banquet takes place in Chicago, other bigger Lithuanian American Community clusters would host performer(s) in the Western shore as well as the Northeast, perhaps two separate artists at the same time in different regions.

We are inviting everybody to come together with our quest to support LF in those events! Lithuanian Foundation was presented again in the traditional Lithuanian Days in Los Angeles (CA) last fall, Lithuanian Music Hall Fair, several performances of the cotemporary music stars from Lithuania in NJ, finally Lithuanian basketball tournament in CT.

In the beginning of this year Lithuanian Americans celebrated the 92-nd anniversary of Lithuania’s Independence – LF representatives took the opportunity to officially present financial assistance checks to the Lithuanian language schools through a joint effort with the LAC Educational Council, being supported by our organization.

We sincerely invite everyone to join in with the LF representatives in their efforts to strengthen the Lithuanian Foundation and would you please consider becoming one in those LAC chapters where there are no LF representatives present.
