Who Knew Office Supply Could Be So Much Fun!

Yesterday together with several IWAV women I attended a presentation at Biuro Pasaulis (Vilkpedes 20) – a Vilnius office supply store . Thanks to Irina Tuminiene and her husband Arturas: they organized an excellent event. Can you imagine that a presentation about “post-it” products could be so interesting and entertaining!! Hard to believe but true! Nowadays, post-its come in boxes that attach like magnets to wooden surfaces (I’m still wondering, how do they do it?), they come in a thin marker for a quick mark-it-post-it combo, they stick to wood, plastic and metal etc etc. Wow, that’s speaking of post-it technology progress :-)

Cookies, tea and coffee added a nice and warm touch to the presentation as well. As if this was not great enough each of us received a bagful of presents, plus moms and moms-to-be received presents for kids!

The best part was shopping. It’s always fun, right?! I got a lot of stuff I needed for the office, plus some things I just cannot do without anymore…like post-its in a marker pen :-)

May MMS: Wine, Cheese and Fun at Uzupis Kratuve

Here are photos from a wonderful MMS at a gourmet store Uzupis Krautuve (Uzupis Gatve 23) that took place last night. This spacious gourmet store has a big selection of antipasti, wines, sauces, cheeses, meats etc. The staff are very helpful, friendly and warm. Plus prices are quite acceptable!

Many thanks to Ieva for organizing this event! Nice company, wine and cheese tasting, available for sale antique and hand-made jewellery from the store owner's private collection, shopping for delicious treats made it an evening to remember!

Photos From The Annual General Meeting

Dear Ladies,


I would like to send a very big THANK YOU to all those ladies who joined us on Tuesday evening at the Radisson for the Annual General Meeting and made up a quorum for the voting. I also send a big thank you to those ladies who could not physically get there but were with us in spirit.


We had not planned any changes to our Constitution so the meeting did not take very long. The result is that we have the same board as last year. Mauricette remains as Chair of the ICCB, Gabi Jazbutis remains as our IWAV Treasurer and I remain as your Chair.


Do not forget that we also have Taina as Secretary, Monika as Membership secretary and Irina and Ieva will organise activities and charity events.


We have said goodbye in part to Sydney and Erin but I am sure they will be around for a while to come yet. Thank you Sydney and Erin for all your work and for the effort that you have put into everything.


Edita Mildazyte joined us afterwards to talk about her charity Bedu turgus which raises money to buy insulin pumps for diabetic children.


Ladies that munch


I did say that I would reserve a table at Double Coffee on Vokieciu but instead I have reserved a table for 13.00 on the 4th May at Greito maisto restoranas, which is on Vokieciu next to the small Iki supermarket. It is a fast food place specialising in chicken and Thai food. Here is a link to a new website you may be interested in http://vilniusfood.wordpress.com/
It would be nice if those people who intend to join us at the lunches could let me know beforehand so that I have an idea of numbers.


Have a wonderful Mother's Day and holiday weekend. I notice that the restaurants are busily trying to get the outside tents and tables ready for the holiday so I sincerely hope the rain keeps away.

Photos: Great Time At Sue's

On Saturday we had a social evening at Sue's Indian Restaurant. There were 28 of us, not just IWAV ladies.


It was a wonderfully mixed group and we all had a great time. The restaurant worked very hard to serve us all at roughly the same time and I must congratulate Raj and his staff for making the evening go so well.

More Sweet Photos From Nendre

Here are the photos of Nendre from last week. The little one in the basket was the youngest one there and she was two years and two months. The little sweetie in the last photo was wonderful and enjoyed herself so much. All the children were great.

Photos From A Visit to Kindergarten Nendre

Dear Ladies,
Irina has kindly sent me some photos taken April 15 at Kindergarten Nendre. IWAV members were invited for a visit to Nendre to see the kitchen equipment purchased for the money raised at the recent Christmas bazaar. I missed this event but as I can see from the photos our ladies were given a sweet welcome and there was even an Easter performance by the kids! Enjoy the photos below!
