On Sunday, May 20th I hosted my first fundraiser of the summer season - a Lithuanian meal, a silent auction of Lithuanian items and a time of me sharing about my life in Lithuania. It was held at 8th Street Mennonite Church in the evening and about 50 people came. It was a very fun evening for me and those who attended.
This is what the room looked like before the guests arrived. Things were decorated in yellow, green, and red - the colors of the Lithuanian flag!
