15th Sedeljka Report

Our 15th Sedeljka began as a garden party under the willow by the pond as the children happily tumbled in and out of Rosemarie's hammock strung between the flowering pear trees. Bonnie in Bulgarian dress greeted the many guests with bread and chubritsa spiced salt while Zima played Balkan and Russian numbers. Jeannie Masich and Bodo Band II also later played and Greenwood Friends School students danced on the grass. Matt Smith played MAKDONSKO DEVOJCHE on his tuba accompanied by John Matulis on his accordion while Melinda Hunt and Dottie Yacek sang. Balkan delicacies and good drink were consumed late into the night in the Milk Parlour to music for listening and dancing. Many new friends were made and $2300 were raised to benefit victims of war and ethnic cleansing on 4 continents.
