The Estonian American National Council (EANC) is once again joining forces with our Central and East European Coalition (CEEC) colleagues to help Estonian Americans and other regional diaspora members contact their Members of Congress (MoCs) on issues that impact Baltic and European security. On June 13th, we are holding an advocacy day to engage with Senators and Representatives on a number of topics and current legislation. One of EANC’s missions is to help Estonian Americans connect with their Congressional representation on issues that impact Estonia’s security, and this is our latest effort to further this goal. We regularly share our concerns and ideas with Congress and the Administration and work to raise the awareness of our Senators and Representatives regarding specific legislation that addresses our issues.

Saare Vikat, meie New Yorgi rahvatantsurühm, on viimastel aastatel puudutanud palju inimesi meie kogukonnast. Soovin oma vaatenurgast Teile meie lugu esitada. Kuigi olen proovinud parimas kirjakeeles seda esile tuua, eks leidub mõni viga. Palun andestust nende eksimuste ja eelarvamuste eest, mida oleks võinud paremini esitada. Neljaosalises sarjas on siin kolmas etapp. Nautigem!
