You and yours are cordially invited to a picnic hosted by the Lithuanian-American Community of Arizona at the South Mountain Pavilion in Tumbleweed Park, located in beautiful Chandler. The park, which has plenty of grassy open space and an extensive playground for children, is located at 745 E. Germann Road. To reach the park, take the 10 Freeway toward Tucson and then the 202 Freeway east to S. McQueen Road. Exit McQueen Road going south and make a right on E. Germann Road. The second left is S. Hamilton Street. Please take it and the parking lot is on the left. Expect cheerful Lithuanian music, hearty Lithuanian food (Marie’s famous kugelis, Lithuanian style pork with mushroom gravy, Lithuanian cold beet soup, and of course sour cream!), cold refreshments, including Lithuanian beer, and very friendly people. Please bring your favorite desert to share, a prize for the lottery, and a friend or two. Annual member Solidarity Contributions and donations for Lithuanian Orphan Care and Lithuanian Foundation will be accepted. Large, clean bathrooms are located a short walk from the pavilion. This is a great opportunity to get together, socialize, and let the children play outside. Meals are $12.00 and children under 12 eat for free. Lithuanian beer is $4.00 and domestic beer $2.00. Soft drinks are $1.00. For additional information on this and other Lithuanian activities in Arizona, please contact Mark Andrew Shoban (480) 802-3765, mashoban@yahoo.com). We look forward to seeing you!
