Dear Friends, For 39 years, the Morava Folklore Ensemble has been a cornerstone of our community. Through generations of dance and song, we have proudly fostered our Faith, celebrated our rich culture, and passed our beautiful Serbian folklore down to our youth. This year, from July 31st to August 2nd, we are embarking on one of our most exciting endeavors yet. MORAVA is hosting the COTK Desanka Đorđević Ensemble of Žarkovo, Serbia. &nbsp;These performers are not professionals, they are dedicated high school and college students who pour their hearts into preserving our heritage. In a beautiful show of unity, we have been working tirelessly alongside our good friends in other Serbian Orthodox parishes across the West to coordinate the various legs of their tour. Now, it is our turn to welcome them to San Diego with the legendary Serbian hospitality we are famous for. Events like the Morava Folkfest do not just benefit the dancers; they enrich and uplift our entire parish community. To make this experience memorable for our guests and seamless for our parish, we are seeking sponsors. &nbsp;Would you consider making a donation to help us defray the costs of hosting? Whether large or small, your contribution directly impacts these young cultural ambassadors. A Special Note to Our Morava Alumni:To every dancer who has ever danced for MORAVA , rehearsed late into the night, or performed on our stages, traveled the world - you are the heartbeat of this legacy. As we welcome these dancers from Serbia, we hope we can count on your support to keep the tradition thriving.&nbsp; Thank you for your continued generosity, love, and support. Warmest regards,Morava Folkfest Committee&nbsp;
