Today at 6:00!

Alina's story begins on February 24, 2022, when she was awakened by the sound of bombs exploding in her city. Alina will take listeners through her journey through the first days of the war- seeking shelter from the nighttime attacks in a neighbor's cellar, fleeing to the Carpathian Mountains for temporary refuge, and returning to their city where the war was still raging.

Alina's talk will be accompanied by a digital photo presentation that will introduce you to her family, her home, the on-going war, and the stages of her journey that would bring her to Crookston. Alina is currently a senior at UMC majoring in software engineering.

Please join us for the opportunity to meet Alina, hear her moving story, and view the war through the eyes of someone who has actually lived it.

Light refreshments will be served.
