Fundraiser Evening for Finnish Film

From the Front to the West Coast (In Finnish: Rintamalta Länsirannikolle)

 
The Documentary Film and the book depict the memories of the Finnish War Veterans who,
some at a very young age, first fought the Russians and then the Germans, after the war leaving
the country they so fiercely defended to start a new life in Canada.


The event takes place on Friday, September 14, 2012 at 6:30 PM
at the Scandinavian Community Centre.

 

Donations are being requested for the silent auction.
Please drop them off at the Scandinavian Centre
or email rintamalta.lansirannikolle  { @ } gmail.com .

 

The project team includes Leena Kelly, Satu Bell and Ilkka Uitto.
Mari Petznek will perform her music.

 

The Finnish Military M/29 Field Kitchen will be in full action making soup available, courtesy of the Finnish War Veterans of British Columbia.
