Florida Estos

Sixty members and old and new friends of the Estonian Society of Central Florida/Kesk Florida Eesti Selts gathered for lunch at The Hangar Restaurant and Flight Lounge, St. Petersburg, Florida, on Sunday, November 6, 2022. This may have been the highest number gathered for a November event. Congratulations! The annual business meeting, traditionally held in November, will be scheduled in the New Year. Before then, Jõuluvana will be joining us for our annual holiday celebration, scheduled for Sunday, December 4, 2022. Please see the posting on this website for more information about that much loved gathering.

This gathering was organized and co-emceed by KFES Vice President Moonika Mägi and longtime member Monika Orumaa. Speakers included Professor Emeritus Lembit Nei, who is on a return visit from Estonia; Estonia-bound Ryan McNichols; and former KFES President Tõnu Toomepuu. A fixed price menu was offered and two scrumptious kringlid were prepared by Moonika Mägi for dessert.

Lively conversations that started before 2:00 extended through the afternoon well past 5:00 pm. It was great to be together again! Enjoy the photos!
