WE INVITE YOU TO BE A BENEFACTOR!
We cordially invite you to support Latvian cultural events and educational programs by purchasing Labvēļu (Benefactor) tickets for the Latvian Independence Day celebration in New York! You will have preferred seating and your name (or that of your business) printed in the program. More importantly, your donation will allow the Council of American-Latvian Organizations of New York (CALNY) to continue sponsoring Latvian theater performances, concerts and other cultural events for the Greater New York Latvian community. These events benefit not only audiences locally but they provide opportunities for artists from Latvia to perform abroad and broaden their perspectives. Travel expenses, US visas and other costs cannot always be covered from admission fees alone. The CALNY also donates to cultural, educational and youth projects both within the New York area and elsewhere - also in Latvia. Therefore please consider becoming a Benefactor. Your donation to the Latvian Independence Day event will support Latvian culture, education and youth all year! Visit: www.NYLatvian.org
