March is one of the busiest months in the Bulgarian calendar. It begins with Baba Marta and the exchange of martenitsi, a custom that marks the wish for health and the coming of spring. It continues with Liberation Day on 3 March and International Women's Day on 8 March. For a club whose members come from many countries, the month is a reminder that spring is celebrated in different ways and that public holidays can carry very personal memories.
The March letter from the president looked at that shared calendar and at the club's own programme. It noted the value of marking familiar and unfamiliar dates together, and it pointed members towards the events and charity work planned for the weeks ahead.
Why these letters matter
The president's monthly message is one of the ways the board keeps members connected. It records what the club is working on, thanks volunteers, and gives newcomers a sense of how the year fits together. The full letter was circulated to members in March 2018 and is summarised here for the archive.
