Lithuanian American Community of Minnesota
Founded in 1991, the Lithuanian American Community of Minnesota unites families of Lithuanians living in Minnesota as well as people with Lithuanian heritage or an interest in Lithuanian culture and history.
Our goal is to maintain, enjoy, and pass on to our future generations our national identity while living so far from Lithuania.
It is fun, important and useful for us to be together, thus we organize events, meetings and picnics to connect with each other. Our traditional events are: Restoration of State of Lithuania, Easter, Mid-Summer’s Eve, Fall Fest and Christmas.
The Martynas Mažvydas Lithuanian Heritage School is an integral part of our community creating an environment for the children of Lithuanian expatriates where they could learn more about Lithuania, learn the language, traditions, history and find Lithuanian speaking friends.
We invite every Lithuanian and friend of Lithuania to actively support (volunteer or donate) to our community. Even the most basic task that helps our community is meaningful, especially when we accomplish many and diverse types of things. We strive to expand and diversify our activities and attract people with various interests.
Lietuviais esame mes gimę, lietuviais turime ir būt!
