10 000 Lithuanians live
in Arizona, USA

“More than national pride, being Lithuanian is a state of mind.” This can be read at a new Facebook page, “Lithuanians of Arizona”, which was recently established. 
Some active individuals among the approximately 10 000 Lithuanians who live in this hot state at the border of Mexico have decided to create a new communication platform to better achieve dialogue and information exchange between all Lithuanians who live in the state. The initiative for the Facebook page was taken after a large picnic event early this November. This is what the initiators write:

“During the annual Arizona Lithuanian Community Picnic in Tumbleweed Park, in Chandler, Arizona, we decided to start a Facebook group to complement the www.lithaz.org web site. This group is dedicated to Lithuanians in Arizona, around the world, or to anyone who is Lithuanian in mind and spirit.”

VilNews applauds the initiative, and we are happy to make our columns available to news updates and information from Arizona and other states or countries where Lithuanians live!

Lithuanians Of Arizona are now on Facebook.
