There has been a slow but steadily increasing whisper of an event deep in the cobwebs of the Adelaide Estonian community that we have been trying to keep very quiet. It has not been advertised in the social pages of local Newspapers or been advertised at major Estonian festivals or community gatherings. The Adelaide Estonian club has quietly tried to organise an event for the people without high powered politics. News of this just has quietly spread via Facebook pages, emails and a careful whisper amongst friends, family and lost souls of the Adelaide community. Now the secret has been leaked and to avoid assumptions, within these pages you will see the facts!

Help support our Australian-Estonian groups/activities:
Rahvuskapital - Annual Fund Collection 2012
Every year the Council of Estonian Societies in Australia carries out
an appeal for funds to support the activities of various Estonian
organisations and individuals.
You may recognise organisations such as Meie Kodu ($10,000), Sõrve Children’s Summer Camp ($3,000) and the Australian Estonian Archives ($3,000) who are all recipients of these donations.
Australian-Estonian organisations rely heavily on these donations as without them their work would cease to exist or be greatly reduced.
Please be generous and take this opportunity to keep Estonian language and culture alive in Australia.
