The Knights of Lithuania Council #144 hosted the Amber District meeting on April 10, 2011 at the Annunciation Hall in Frackville, PA. 46 members from five councils were represented. Elaine Luschas provided a lovely  display on Lithuanian Easter Eggs and traditions. She also donated nine eggs to be given as prizes.

The Cultural Chair discussed the issue of two nuclear power plants that will  to be built near the Lithuanian boarder in neighboring Belarus (30 miles from  Vilnius) and in Russia along the Kaliningrad  enclave which also  boarders Lithuania.  The construction will be carried out by the Russian government which does not follow the same quality of standards for nuclear power as Western European countries.  We are asking all Knights of Lithuania members to write his/her representative and senator to express concern.

Thank you  to  all Knights of Lithuania #144  members who helped set-up and host the Amber District Meeting. It was was a beautiful,  well attended and educational event!
