Dear members of the board of the Vilnius Jewish Community,

I would like to inform you that a demand was received on March 23 signed by Vilnius Jewish Community (VJC) board members Aleksandr Arončik, Simon Ceitlinas, Arkadij Goldin, Aleksandras Lukas Jurevičius, Dovydas Kocas, Margarita Koževatova, Simonas Portnoj, Simon Gurevičius and Rachmil Garber to convene a meeting of the VJC executive board on March 30, 2017, to discuss the issues of convening an extraordinary VJC conference and of adopting new VJC members as well as confirming existing memberships.

I would like to thank the above-mentioned LJC board members for their initiative and also to state that this demand is not legally correct according to the regulations of the VJC and the laws of the Republic of Lithuania (the reasons are indicated in a letter to VJC board members which will be sent to all VJC board members by registered mail).

We would like to inform you that the plan is to convoke the board of the VJC at 6:00 P.M. on April 28, 2017, and to ask that VJC board members mark the date on their schedules. Information about elections will be posted on the official Community website, www.lzb.lt, and we also invite anyone with questions about the elections to contact us.

Sincerely,

Faina Kukliansky, chairwoman
Vilnius Jewish Community
