Upcoming events in May

There are two events coming up over the next two weekends in the Vancouver Estonian community. 

First on Saturday, May 18th, the Vancouver Estonian Folk Dance group 'Kilplased' will be hosting their annual fundraiser at Mäeotsa. The group will be traveling to San Francisco at the end of June to take part in performing at the L.E.P. / ESTO, along with other groups from North America and Estonia, and proceeds will help with the group's travel costs. There will be performances by Kilplased and Leelo, and it is a great time to come and enjoy the spring weather (rain or shine!) at Mäeotsa.

Then one week later, on Saturday, May 25th, will be the Surrey Inn Closing Party. Surrey Inn, now known as the Compass Point Inn, has been home to many wonderful Estonian events over the many years of it's operation. It will be a lovely opportunity to enjoy the Hotel in some of it's final moments, to reminisce and create memories anew.

Emadepäeva aktus - Mother's Day program 2013

Mother's Day was celebrated by the community at Meie Kodu on Sunday, May 12th. Ingrid and Karl Rumm led the program, and were joined at the podium with warm remarks by Olev Rumm, and the program's guest speaker, Mihkel Kukk. Leelo sang beautiful songs of spring lilacs, the singer's childhood, and the comforts of home, and following were talented performances by Ingrid Rumm on guitar, Alina Tork on piano and Karl Rumm's poem reading. 

It was a lovely afternoon celebrating the wonderful love of Mother's Day along with warm familiar faces. Thank you to everyone who attended!
