The Latvian Samaritans Association, one of our IWCR-supported charities, has invited our members to experience Jāņi cheese making. Jāņi cheese is a Latvian sour milk cheese, traditionally eaten on Jāņi, the Latvian celebration of the summer solstice. Nowadays the cheese has become one of the symbols of Latvian culture. The Latvian Samaritans Association will provide all the needed supplies and instruction. IWCR Members will learn the craft, make a large quantity of cheese, pack them in small portions, and then donate the small packs to lonely seniors and people with functional disabilities for solstice. IWCR Members will be able to take home a small portion of cheese. Notes: -RSVPs must be received by Tuesday, May 26th through Wild Apricot -Children age 10 and over are welcome to join -Max 20 spots -Cost: 10 € (5€ goes to purchase the supplies and 5€ goes to the Dream Mobile/Last Wish Transport Project) -Cancellations after May 26th will incur the cost or the attendee will need to find a substitute to attend
