Get together family event on Jun 17th

Collective power was the theme of the National Day

Get together hosted an open house for the second time on June 17.  This year, they offered waffles with whipped cream and jam, kleinur (twisted doughnuts), coffee, chocolate milk and juice. Inside Vonarhöfn, families made flags, others played music on the piano, as several pianoplayers were among the guests. Outside there was a clothing market, the restaurant tent, outdoor chairs and chalk sticks that the kids grabbed to color the pavement. All children received a gift bag with all kinds of goodies to take with them for the day. Everybody enjoyed the open house and multiculturalism.

Collective power was the theme of the National Day at Get together, but without the volunteers who work wholeheartedly for the benefit of the people and society, it would not be possible to make the day as great as it was. Special thanks go to the following: Hafnarfjarðarbær, Hafnarfjarðarkirkja, HS Orka, Húsasmiðjan, Matarbúðin Nándin, Krónan, ÓJ&K- ÍSAM, Ísafoldarprintsmiðja, Leikfangaland, Gæðabastur – Ömmubakstur, Mjólkursamsalan and Góa.
