Lietuvoje - DELFI
A message from our President, Vilius Žalpys
2009 promises to be an active year with your participation and help. Remember, a community is only as good as you
make it and your Lithuanian identity only disappears when you let it. Assimilation is no longer an excuse to lose your
Baltic Heritage - one can stay in contact with the world via the Internet, participate at our events or simply make
monetary donations that allow us to sponsor events. Hook up your computer to your TV and watch live stream
Lithuanian TV or look at yesterdays programs. English Language Lithuanian news and Internet pages are plenty and
can be found just by Goggling a search.
