Sveiki to all,

The younger members of Daugavas Vanagi – Latvian Relief Society, form an integral part of the organisation. Having younger members within Daugavas Vanagi assists the organisation have input from all age groups within the community.

All members are very active in the Latvian community where they reside. We have organised the Latvian Youth Arts Festival and a very active part in the organising committees for the Australian Latvian Arts Festival, in alternate years.

We are also dynamic in folk dancing groups such as Auseklitis which is part of Daugavas Vanagi branch in Adelaide. In Melbourne the monthly social events bring allow Daugavas Vanagi younger members and non-members meet and enjoy each others company whilst enjoying refreshments and brisk conversations as well as music.

Membership of Daugavas Vanagi is open to Latvians from all age groups and can be facilitated through the local Member Liaison in each state. However if you are unable to locate your local Member, then please contact me – mdraguns@hotmail.com
