PARTNERSHIP: June 2024 – The ROMANIAN BLOUSE Day

 The complete briefing will be available soon. Thank you!

“Mărțișor 2024” with the Romanian Consulate

     On March 1^st, 2024, I was invited by the new Consul General of Romania in Vancouver & by his lovely wife (who is Deputy Consul General of Romania in Vancouver) at their residence to spend an evening together with several Romanian ladies, honoring “Mărțișor” – a beautiful tradition most of us are very fond of. 

     Needless to say that good cheer was in our midst! Each lady attending the event received a beautiful “Mărțișor” handed by Consul Gabriel Rotaru, nicely prepared by the consular team in Vancouver.

     I was truly pleased to have interesting conversations with both Romanian Consuls, learning about their vision as they begin a new mandate here (Rotaru family arrived to Vancouver 2 months ago).

     This posting is marking the beginning of a more ample collaboration between Alice & Friends Circle™ and the Consulate General of Romania in Vancouver. Without any doubt, uniting our efforts in order to further promote our Romanian culture, as well as our ancient traditions, and the timeless wisdom of our ancestors, is something we all are very proud of.

Until our paths will meet again, from me, only the best!

Alice
