Farewell to Siobhan and Judith

Sorry for this belated post of photos from the special lunch bunch on the 3rd August organized to wish all the best to Siobhan and Judith who are leaving Lithuania soon…

I would like to quote an email from IWAV Chair, Barbara: “thank you to all those Ladies who turned up to say goodbye to Siobhan and Judith. I am sure that there were many more who would also liked to have been there but could not for whatever reason so I will wish Siobhan and Judith all the best for the future from all the members of IWAV.”

Lunch Bunch and Ladies That Munch

Dear Ladies,

Lunch yesterday at La Boheme was a delightful surprise. Me and my soups - I had the mushroom soup and it was one of the nicest I have had in quite a long time. We then had salads - all different and all equally nice. Service was good as well. The only downside which was not the fault of the restaurant was the young couple allowing their child to crawl all over the dirty floor and chasing him/her with a spoonful of mashed potato. I hope no-one had been walking in dog doodoo before walking in the restaurant!!

We would certainly go back there.

Lunch next week Tuesday 13th 13.00 will be at Skonis ir Kvapas on Traku gatve unless I think of somewhere else.

A reminder to those people who are thinking of joining the evening munchers that we will be going to Sues Indian Raj restaurant on Saturday 17th April 19.00. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL BE JOING US. HUSBANDS ( well some of them anyway ) PARTNERS, FRIENDS ARE ALL WELCOME BUT I NEED TO KNOW SO THAT I CAN BOOK


Have a wonderful week

Lunch Bunch: Duck's Supposed to be Rosy!!!

Dear Ladies,

Lunch yesterday, Tuesday was at Csarda the hungarian restaurant on Mykolo. I have always liked the atmosphere at this restaurant. It seems to wrap itself around you when you go in. The waitress, whilst not having the most smiley face I have ever seen, is very efficient and the food is good. The restaurant was also well patronised which was nice to see.

Mike and I took one of his sisters there once and, as she always goes for the most expensive thing on the menu, she asked for the rosy duck. She also asked for it well done as the whole family is used to the 'burnt offerings' their Mother used to make for them. ( I hasten to add that Mike does not get burnt food from me ) Anyway, the waitress at the time looked down at Gill and said ' duck does not come well done and it is supposed to be ROSY. BLISS!!!! One of life's enjoyable moments.

There will now be no lunch bunch until Tuesday 1st December as the Christmas Bazaar is taking up our time, thoughts and energy.

I will send an email nearer the time telling you the venue.

If there are any ladies who are interested in joining Mike and me for a Christmas dinner one Saturday evening before Christmas then please contact me so that we can arrange it.

Have a great week and work hard for the bazaar. It will be a lot of fun and I think we will all be pleasantly surprised with how much money we raise for our beneficiaries.

Lunch Bunch and Plans for the Future

Mano Liza Restaurant
Dear Ladies,


Lunch last Tuesday was at Mano liza. It is a cosy hotel restaurant and quite small but we had no trouble finding seats. The food was good but very filling - perhaps less on the plate would have been better. I know - we didn't have to eat it.

Tomorrow Tuesday 10th November 13.00 we will try Csarda which we have not been to for a long time. It is a hungarian restaurant on Mykolo 4 just off Pilies and round the corner from St Germain. They also have a place in Trakai.

Last Friday we had a coffee morning/members social. at the SAS Radisson which is such a lovely setting and those cakes are really wonderful. The little pig in me comes out when I see those cakes. I did take the leftovers to the homeless.

We had discussions on charity and activities and anything else that came to mind.

Erin has plans for our next monthly get together which sounds very interesting. She will be sending an email out to everyone very soon and I would recommend that you think about attending. She also has plans for a 'Cabaret" dinner dance in March which, last year, raised money for biopsy needles for breast cancer patients. This should be a LOT of FUN but it would be great to get more people on board to help with the planning and organising.

Sydney has plans for a food drive in conjunction with Prisma Supermarket which will be held in January. She is continually collecting clothes for various charities. Children's and adults clothes are needed. We also need more helpers so that Sydney can organise a charity committee. She also has plans ( and this was the first time she had mentioned this ) for a 'meals on wheels' charity.

Lots happening ladies and your organisation needs you - your body and your time.

Have a great week and see you tomorrow at lunch or at one of the meetings, or at one of the evening quizzes, or at the Marine Ball.


No wonder my head is spinning
