During the Kazickas Family Foundation September 25th meeting it was decided to continue the Alexandra Kazickas Grant Program for the eighth year in a row. Alexandra Kazickas was deeply committed to the preservation of a Lithuanian identity for young people growing up in the US.
June 17, 2020 will mark Alexandra Kazickas' 100th birthday anniversary. Remembering this extraordinary person who touched so many lives and continues doing so even after she's gone, we invite Lithuanian schools, their students, teachers, parents and friends to read the Kazickas family biography "Odyssey of Hope" and weigh how our lives and fates connect. This book is also a part of history of Lithuania. The latest edition in Lithuanian was given to every Lithuanian school in the US last Christmas. Please, read it, share it and reflect.
