  Join IWCR for an evening of complete and total fun playing BUNCO!  BUNCO is an incredibly easy-to-learn/play social dice game and no past experience is needed.  Just come ready to socialize, laugh, and roll.  We will finish the evening with a quick game of Right Left Center.
  Please note BUNCO success depends greatly on the number of attendees as the game is played in sets of four players. It is ideal to have 16 or 20 players. Please RSVP to reserve your spot and a spot for your guest and please stay firm in your RSVP.  IWCR Members who RSVP for a guest are responsible for the guest slot if the guest has to cancel.  If we should have over 20 interested players, we will either add one more table or create a waitlist due to space limitations.  Should you or your guest need to cancel within a week of the event, please do so in enough time for YOU to find a replacement(s).

  Hurry hard!  Join IWCR for a Curling Lesson and learn all about an Olympic winter sport that has been played since the 16th century!  Curling is a precision team sport played on ice where players slide 19 kilogram granite stones, sourced only from Scotland, towards a circular target called the "house” with the assistance of teammates who sweep the stone down the ice sheet. This sport has been called chess on ice!  Approximately forty-five minutes will be spent learning the sport with instructors who will provide the lesson in English.  The remainder of the time will be spent curling.  Hope to see you and interested family members (ages 10+) out to throw and sweep!

  IWCR 2026 SPRING CHARITY DRIVE

  IWCR is excited to announce our Spring 2026 Charity Drive on Tuesday, May 12th 1000 - 1300 at the Salvation Army (Pestīšanas Armija Latvijā).  Any and all members of the greater community are invited to bring their donations to our drop-off area inside the back of the Salvation Army building.  The IWCR will then sort the donated items based on our charity needs.  Any and all items are welcome: gently-used clothing and shoes, backpacks, kitchen supplies, school supplies, household appliances, toys, kid's bikes, craft material, towels/sheets, and more!  If you have a large item to donate, please contact charity@iwcr.lv before dropping it off as we have no way to move large items.  If you have no gently-used items to donate, consider donating diapers, wipes, toiletries, or school supplies.  Stay and enjoy a coffee and cookies following your donation drop-off. 
  
  The Salvation Army (Pestīšanas armija) is located at Bruņinieku iela 10A and it is possible to pull your vehicle inside the gate to drop-off items.  You are also welcome to enter through the gate by foot and come in the furthest back door into the charity donation area.  Please arrive by 1300 to drop-off your donations.
  
  If you are unable to drop-off items 1000 - 1300 on May 12th, please email charity@iwcr.lv to arrange for other options.
  
  Please share this event and flyer with your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc.  The more donations, the more we are able to support our amazing charities: https://www.iwcr.lv/charities/
