It was on June 12\, 1987 that Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate and gave what is now known as the Berlin Wall Speech\, viewed by the entire world. The impact of those words is one of the reasons we choose to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the restoration of the Republic of Estonia at The Reagan Library and Museum. \nThe speech included these words:\n“There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable\, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev\, if you seek peace\, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe\, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev\, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev\, tear down this wall!” \nYou can view it here again: https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/reagan-quotes-speeches/remarks-on-east-west-relations-at-the-brandenburg-gate-in-west-berlin/ \nAlso\, 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as America’s 40th president.  It’s a year of re-examining his legacy\, re-telling one of America’s greatest stories\, re-living a remarkable run as President\, and introducing an icon to a new generation. \nOur celebration includes a special guest and opening speech\, a luncheon under Air Force One\,  a docent-led tour of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and the amazing Air Force One Pavilion\, plus a self-guided tour of the spectacular special exhibit FBI – FROM AL CAPONE TO AL-QAEDA \nSpace is limited.

Singing Revolution: The Musical DESCRIPTION:Singing Revolution is a new musical with a catchy Euro pop score. It tells the tale of star-crossed lovers against the beautiful\, moving and timeless true story of Estonia’s 1987 song-filled\, peaceful uprising\, known the world over as the “Singing Revolution” against the Soviet Union\, which eventually restored the Republic of Estonia’s independence in 1991. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTony Spinosa\, Co-creator: As a passionate theatre professional for over 30 years\, I have always been on the lookout for the inspiration for an original Broadway musical. When I first learned about Estonia’s Singing Revolution\, a light bulb went off in my head; people using the power of peaceful resistance\, literally singing as a shield against Soviet attacks\, is a story that I know I needed to tell. What a beautiful\, moving and timeless story\, and the premise for the perfect musical. \n\n\n\nThe Musical premieres in Los Angeles\, January 15\, 2022! Get your tickets and share the word today!

The first two books deal with a chain of events set off by human tampering with the laws of nature; an old woman’s inexplicable love of cats lures a horde of felines to the city. Risking their lives\, the diligent and ready-to-help fellows drive the gang of cats out of town\, but the outcome brings trouble to city and nature alike: rats take control of the urban environment\, all the birds are devoured in the forest\, and the insects consequently launch their own wave of destruction. Only through great peril do Mossbeard\, Halfshoe\, and Muff manage to bring the cats back to the city and restore environmental balance.

So\, please check back! \n\n\n\n~ \n\n\n\nGreetings from Mati and Kati! “Who are Mati & Kati?” you ask? They are our LEP2022 mascots\, and tour guides for everything LEP2022. They also love to travel around Seattle and are sharing all their adventures and ideas for activities for when you come visit on our Facebook page\, so make sure to follow!\n\n\n\nTere tulemast 35-le Lääneranniku Eesti Päevadele! \n\n\n\nOleme väga elevil ning ootame põnevusega kõiki meie koju Seattlesse\, et Teiega jagada Vaikse ookeani loodeosa erakordseid ning hingematvaid paiku ja loodust. Käsi\, südameid ning hääli liites saame koos tähistada Eesti kultuuri LEP2022 ürituse raames. Alates 1953. aastast on lääneranniku eestlased saanud kokku\, et laulda\, tantsida ja kohtuda vanade ning uute sõpradega. Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad või LEP2022 on festival\, mis tähistab kõike\, mis on Eestiga seotud. \n\n\n\nLEP2022 ajal saab meie koduks Suquamish Clearwater Puhkemaja ja Kasiino. Clearwater asub Agate Passage’i kallastel ning on Seattlest vaid lühikese maalilise praamisõidu kaugusel. Praam sõidab üle Puget Sound’i ning viib meid Suquamishi hõimu traditsioonilistele maadele. \n\n\n\nJälgi meie Facebooki ja veebilehte\, et viimaste uudiste ning infoga kursis olla. Ootame Teid LEP 2022 – Lääneranniku Eesti Päevadele! \n\n\n\nSeattle LEP 2022 korralduskommitee URL:https://www.estosite.org/event/the-xxxv-west-coast-estonian-days-laaneranniku-eesti-paevad/ LOCATION:Suquamish Clearwater Resort and Casino\, 15347 Suquamish Way NE\, Suquamish\, WA\, 98392\, United States CATEGORIES:Community,Culture,Estonian Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.estosite.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/LEP-2022-happening-now.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
