Sunday, March 25, 2012 3pm A Traditional Spring Sedenka! by Divi Zheni, with accompaniment by friends from Zornitsa 404 Washington Street At a sedenka — a traditional Bulgarian work party — folks bring their knitting and hand crafts, sing, dance, tell stories and eat treats. We'll be doing much the same with you at our Spring Sedenka! So, bring your knitting, bring your children, and bring your dancing shoes if you like. For a special musical treat Divi Zheni's "2nd Generation"—Jordan, Kira, and Hunter—will perform a song they have been learning with Tatiana! This event is a fundraiser to help renovate the church's Community Supper Kitchen, which feeds over 100 people every week Suggested donation $12, students/seniors $6 The church, our musical home for rehearsals, is in Brighton Center on the 57 and 86 bus lines. Free & plentiful parking next door in the Citizens Bank lot!
