The Party of February 16, 2000

During the General assembly, the youngsters worked in the kitchen. Ausrius, Ramune, Vaida, Andrius, Alma and the others were busy waving knives, ladles and rolling pins.

When the General assembly, after long speeches, discussions and elections, was finally finished, a small concert commenced. All the mothers danced the "Kepurine" (hat dance) lead by Zita Papinigiene, and Ausrine played the piano. But the concert wasn't over yet...

The children of the Lithuanian school Sunday class - Ramunyte (to the left) and Aiste (to the right) reciting poetry...

...and all the kids danced the "Jurgelis meistrelis", "Aguonele", and "Du gaideliai" together with the teachers Aldona Sehgal, Lilija Bakanauskaite and the mothers.

After the concert, the party began. Lots of people wanted to chat with Klemensas Gumauskas, who had now finished his period as chairman of the LSS (to the left). No one forgot to taste the lovely food. Best of all were the sausages with cabbage.
