Baltic Afternoon at Ocee Park – Saturday, May 12, 2018

You are cordially invited to join Atlanta Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, their families and friends for a relaxed afternoon at Ocee Park in John’s Creek, on Saturday, May 12th, from 3:00 to 6:30 pm.  This event is free of charge.

Our main activity will be Beach Volleyball…and we look forward to having all three Baltic “national teams” engage in a friendly match on the sand courts.  There are also basketball and tennis courts and a running track, a picnic shelter and a kids’ playground.  Children can also kick the soccer ball around, ride bicycles, roller-blade or skateboard.  We are counting on everyone having a great time…including your cats and dogs, if you choose to bring them along.  😊

There will be no organized food or reserved tables while at Ocee Park.  Bring your own snacks and refreshments, if you’d like.  We recommend that you bring your own folding chairs.

Park your car near the children’s playground at the front of the park.  We will meet at the sand volleyball courts, which are located on the far-left side of the park.

Joninės – Birželio 24/25 June – Midsummer Night Picnic

English Version

Mielieji, kviečiame visus kartu šauniai atšvęsti Atlantos lietuvių Jonines su pratęsimu iki ryto, toje pačioje vietoje kaip ir pernai – Bolding Mill Camground, Lanier ežero pakrantėje. Adresas: 4055 Chestatee Road, Gainesville, GA 30506. Pradžia – 4 val. p.p. Jeigu šiek tiek pavėluosite – nebėda! Numatome nuoseklų įsibėgėjimą!

Nuo 4 val. iki 9:00 val. Joninės vyks Bolding Mill “Day Use” teritorijoje esančiose dvejose pavėsinėse, kurias esame išsinuomavę specialiai šiam renginiui. Nuo 9:00 Joninių pratęsimui persikelsime į Bolding Mill palapinių stovyklavietes pabaigti Jonines tarp ažuolų, su dainomis prie tikro Joninių laužo. Norintys ten pat galės likti nakvoti palapinėse.

Šiais metais Jūsų laukia daug linksmybių, žaidimų ir užsiėmimų: tradicinis Paparčio Žiedo ieškojimas, vainikų pynimas ir plukdymas, Joninių dainos, tradiciniai ir nauji Joninių žaidimai, bei užsiėmimai vaikams.

Joninių tinklinis vyks nuo 4:30 iki 6-ių. Kas norit dalyvauti – nevėluokite. Apie 6-ias kepsime visų pamėgtas dešrelės. Šiais metais bus įvairesnė mėsa ir taip pat kas nors vegetarams, su priedais. Prašome atsinešti ir savo užkandžių, desertų bei gėrimų, kuriuos galėsite pasidalinti su kaimynais ar pavaišinti draugus. Gėlių, žolynų ir siūlo vainikams bus šiek tiek parūpinta, tačiau, kas galite, prašome atsinešti ir daugiau. Įsidėkite ir po žvakutę, kad galėtumėme uždegti Saulei ledžiantis. Pražys ir Paparčio Žiedas! Neapsiriks tas, kas jį suras!

Renginio įėjimo kaina – $18 bendruomenės nariams, ne nariams – $23. Vaikams ir paaugliams iki 16 m. – $5.

Pratęsimas Bolding Mill stovyklavietėse atviras visiems norintiems. Tie kurie norėsite likti nakvoti savo atsivežtose palapinėse – papildomo mokesčio už tai nėra, bet privalote rezervuoti vietą savo palapinei parašydami į lietuviaiatlantoje@gmail.com . Palapinių vietų skaičius stovyklavietėse ribotas.

Jeigu ateinate prašome RSVP į Evite pakvietimą. Jeigu Evite pakvietimo negavote – parašykite mums į lietuviaiatlaotoje@gmail.com arba RSVP dabar čia.

Visus kviečiame atvykti ir pakalbinti draugą!

Midsummer Night Picnic and Bonfire in Atlanta!

Dear friends,

We cordially invite you and your family to celebrate the traditional Midsummer Night Picnic and Bonfire with Atlanta’s Lithuanian-American Community (LAC). This event will take place at the Bolding Mill Campground on Lake Lanier, 4055 Chestatee Rd., Gainesville, GA 30506 on Saturday, June 24, 2017.

The festivities will kick off at the Bolding Mill Campground Shelters starting at about 4pm, and will include weaving traditional flower crowns, volleyball games, music, singing, dinner featuring grilled sausages (including vegetarian options), dancing, and games such as the search for the mystical “Flowering Fern,” a favorite of kids of all ages. At 9pm, we will move the celebration to the camping ground to continue with songs around the bonfire, and the sendoff of lit candles down the lake as the sun goes down.

Optionally, you and your family can camp overnight at the campground. There is no additional fee for those staying overnight in tents, but please reach out to us at lithuaniansinatlanta@gmail.com to reserve your tent spot. The number of campsites is limited.

Admission is $18 for LAC members, $23 for non-members, and $5 for kids 16 and under.

Please bring a side dish, a snack,  or dessert to share. Although oak branches and flowers will be at hand to weave flower crowns, you are welcome to bring some extra cut flowers to add to the fun.

If you’ve received an Evite invitation, please RSVP. If you haven’t, please drop us a line at lithuaniansinatlanta@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to send one.  You can also RSVP now here.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 LAC Midsummer Night Picnic and Bonfire.
