Paprašykite savo vaikų paruošti pasirodymą: eilėraštį, dainelę, arba muzikinį kūrinį atlikti Kalėdų Seneliui, angliškai arba lietuviškai.

MVSC parūpins gėrimus ir desertus, bet prašom atsinešti Kūčių patiekalą be mėsos.

Vakaronė bus vedama lietuviškai ir angliškai. Pakvieskit šeimą ir draugus!

Bus smagu! Dalyvavimas nemokamas, bet būsim dėkingi už aukas patalpų nuomai.

Enter from the parking lot. Lower level.

There will be a Santa for the kids, so please bring a small, gift-wrapped present with your child’s name on it, and secretly slip it into our red Santa bag.

Lithuanian children traditionally perform for Santa, so please have your child prepare a song, poem, musical piece, etc., in English or in Lithuanian.

For the adults there is good company and delicious food. Drinks and dessert are provided, but please bring a meatless main dish to pass. Lithuanian Christmas Eve (Kūčios) tradition serves 12 meatless dishes – fish, mushrooms, potatoes, veggies, etc.

The event is conducted in both Lithuanian and English - bring your friends and family!
