Socializing: Pre-CHRISTMAS Reunion 2021

The current year is slowly coming to the end, fact which allowed me to organize on Tuesday (December 21, 2021) our usual pre-Christmas reunion (on line, since the province at the moment is again in a pandemic related lockdown…like many other places throughout the entire world).

Meeting with my friends for few hours gave me such a great joy as I was able to express my most sincere appreciation for their loyalty, for their ongoing support and encouragement since the beginning of ALICE & Friends Circle™ up to these days!

I was so happy to see that our group talks were truly open, relaxed and relaxing, filling my heart with genuine gratitude for another beautiful evening of togetherness, fully packed with unforgettable memories, Christmas cheer and heart-warming carols. Until we next time, dear friends, please stay healthy, safe & happy!

This event has been delivered in Romanian Language, featuring Romanian culture.

December 21, 2021: WINTER Solstice

A new winter has arrived, and at this time I’m sending along my best wishes to all for a safe, peaceful & bright cold season!

“If you listen carefully, the silence of snow falling is quite beautiful.”

Just a fresh reminder that the winter solstice marks the first day of this cold period as well as the shortest daylight and the longest night of the year.

December 2021: Our annual winter charity

During this cold December I was able to organize our group annual charity, helping again (on Thursday, December 16’21) the shelter of women and children affected by domestic violence.

The reasonable donations collected from several loyal friends of ALICE & Friends Circle™ as well as my family’s contribution helped me purchase different basic necessities for the women and children currently residing at the refuge, and by this briefing I’m glad to share that our gesture was very well received by everybody there. Deep down in my heart I wish that hope instead of hurts would shape their future.  

On the other hand, while at this page, I would like to briefly refresh again that the purpose of this sharing is to continue to exemplify (from a community stand point) that if you really want to do good in this world it is possible without being extremely rich, but rather being willing to care!

In closing, MANY THANKS again to all the supporters of these humanitarian projects, assuring each of them of my most sincere gratitude and appreciation!

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” (Aesop)
