Serbs and Palacinke...what a winning combination!
On Sunday, May 3rd, Serbs for Serbs Canada hosted a Palacinka Party fundraiser in the Serbian Centre in Mississauga. Parishioners streamed into the Centre following Holy Liturgy, welcomed by young Serbs who had come to help raise money for needy Serbian children and families. The event was a success, and $3.510 was raised to help those in need. VIDEO REPORT
Pulling off an event like this requires much help and there are many people who deserve to be thanked:
- The Board of Directors of the Saint Sava Church of Toronto and the Queen Aleksandra Circle of Serbian Sisters for offering their support for this humanitarian fundraiser.
- Dana Miscevic for sponsoring the cost of decorations.
- Branka and Bill Durovic for promoting the event on Radio Program Ravna Gora.
- Nikola Tijanic for all of his help.
- All the volunteers-- kitchen crew, servers, set-up crew and clean-up crew.
Serbs for Serbs Canada invites other communities to host their own Palacinka Parties, and to raise money for the charity. Events like this are proof that when Serbs come together, we can make good things happen.
