Baklava, Palacinke and Flowers




At the annual Croatian Fest on October 5th, 2014 at the Seattle Center, the Balkan Task Force (BTF) made and sold 300 baklava, Croatian (aka Turskih) coffee, and hundreds of palacinke (Croatian pancakes).

This is the 5th year that the BTF had the opportunity to raise funds and communicate with the public about the initiatives in Southeast Europe that it supports, and about Forum for Leadership and Reconciliation (Forum), recently formed non-profit organization involved with the Renewing Our Minds (ROM) ministry, Economic Diplomacy and Integrity Forum (EDI), and other reconciliation and leadership development activities in the region.

All the proceeds go to Forum and the Balkan Task Force. Generous donors provided the cost of ingredients. Many thanks go to all who helped with the baklava, palacinke making and selling.

Many thanks go to the many people who helped at the Balkan Task Force Annual Plant Sale fundraiser on June 7 in the parking lot area of the Wedgwood Presbyterian Church in Seattle. Many thanks to Smith Gardens Nursery in Bellingham for their generous donation of a truckload of beautiful plants for the sale, and to the Wedgwood Presbyterian Church for free use of their space.
