BAZAAR RAISES 20,700 LVL FOR LATVIAN CHARITIES - A RECORD-BREAKING SUCCESS!

It's official!  The15th International Christmas Bazaar 2011 broke all records, in terms of both attendance - which ran to several thousands - AND monies raised, which was 20,700 LVL. This money will be used to continue and increase the charity work of the IWCR in Latvia throughout 2012.

The 2010 Bazaar raised 14,000 LVL so the latest charity fundraiser represents a 40% increase.  The new location in Riga Town Hall and support from Riga City Council were major contributing factors.  So too was the combined support from Riga's Diplomatic and business communities, schools, media outlets, IWCR Members and friends.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.
