It’s so nice to go visit neighbors for tea or dinner, to have a heart-to-heart talk, to share experiences and information, sing songs and dance to the accompaniment of accordion! But in the active summer season, when there is a lot of work to do, when we need to catch a lot, it is not so easy to find time for warm meetings.
So, we together with our neighbors decided to recall the well-forgotten old, and to mix business with a pleasure. Now we meet in order to work together and thereafter have fun once a week. First we go to one family, in a week to the next, and so on. Work is done faster and more fun. And then we’re going to go to the bath, sing songs and dance. And we always have a lot of delicious food: everyone brings something delicious, therefore there is always a lot of tasty food on the table.
After such a mini – subbotnik (days of volunteer unpaid work on weekends following the October Revolution) remains a big charge of energy and cheerfulness. So we called our meetings “ZARYAD’E” (CHARGE) — for dreams, soul and body!
