Kõigile tublidele LEP2022 tegijatele - tänukiri Eesti Valisminiteeriumi poolt

Looking for some helpers to make our Christmas party on Dec 11 happen.
How can you help? Would you like to set up and decorate the tables? Or are you more of a food person and like to cook?
We are so excited to see everyone but nothing happens without- you. You are the most important person who makes things happen.
If you feel that you can lend us your hand, send us a message and let’s talk.

Koor ja tantsijad puhkavad, naisekandjad taastuvad ning saunakerised on tänaseks maha jahtunud. Nüüd on meil jäänud veel üks oluline ülesanne.Nimelt soovime tunnustada Lääneranniku Eesti Päevade/LEP 2022 esinaise kriitilist panust ürituse korraldusse. Jah, LEPi töökas korralduskommitee võttis küll enda kanda 3 aastaks ürituse korralduse, kuid ilma Carol Leimani pühendunud, meelitava ja visa juhtimiseta, ei oleks LEPi saatnud säärane edu.Tema meeskond võtab selle hetke, et tunnustada ja tänada Carolit. LEP 2022 3-aastase planeerimise ja korralduse käigus hoidis ta meid eesmärgile keskendununa, hoidis kõiki motiveerituna ning aitas vältida läbipõlemist. Ta täitis oma kohustusi väljapaistva sihikindluse ja kergusega.Me oleme väga tänulikud ning õnnelikud, et just Caroli meie jõupingtusi juhtis. Tema meeskond soovib talle välja teenitud, rahulikku ning lõõgastavat suve. Caroli, sinu jaoks klaasi tõstes – AITÄH!

LEP 2022.
The dancers and choirs are resting, the wife carriers recovering, and the sauna fires quenched. But one special LEP task remains.
The task of acknowledging the critical contributions made by the esinaine/chair of West Coast Estonian Days/LEP 2022. Yes, LEP’s hard working committee committed to the 3-year effort, but without the dedicated, committed, cajoling, and tenacious Caroli Leiman leading us, LEP would not have enjoyed overwhelming success.
Her team take this moment to recognize and applaud Caroli. She kept the LEP 2022 Committee focused through 3-years of strategic planning and tactical ex*****on. She kept us motivated and helped everyone avoid burnout.
While tenacious in her pursuit of presenting an exciting and accessible LEP, she listened to advise and thoughtfully weigh options. She handled her responsibilities with grace, ease, and determination.
We are deeply grateful and fortunate to have Caroli lead our effort. Her team wishes her a well-deserved, restful, peaceful, and relaxing summer. With our heartfelt appreciation we lift our glasses to honor you, aitäh, Caroli.

After a long journey, Kati and I are back at Karu Mets. We had such fun at LEP 2022, dancing and singing, then more singing, dancing and meeting up with friends from afar. So many wonderful memories were created, and memories shared, during that special time of LEP 2022. Kati and I will spend the next couple of months preparing for our long winter nap. On our journey back to Karu Mets we stopped to bid farewell to Metsanõid, but Metsanõid did not bid farewell, she only said "until we meet again" and gave us a gift of a big batch her magical elixir to ensure we have sweet dreams during our long winters nap. I am sure we will have many sweet dreams from all the memories and stories shared during our adventure to LEP festivities. Until the next LEP, Kati and I send all of you a very big Karu Kalli Kalli!
