On Sunday, 22 September, Lysynychi will celebrate 613 years since the first written mention of the village. On this occasion, the community will hold celebrations, a charity fair and an auction. The funds raised at the event will be transferred to the soldiers from the same village.
This was reported by the Department of Administration and Community Development of Lviv City Council.
“Lysynychi is one of the oldest settlements of the Lviv Metropolitan Territorial Community. The name was first documented in official sources in 1411. In the midst of the war, the community decided to celebrate this important date with a volunteer event, including a fair, an auction, performances and competitions. The organisers have also prepared a surprise. You will be able to find out what it is about at the charity event on Sunday,” said the Lviv City Council’s Department of Administration and Community Development.
The event will take place at the local People’s House at 2a Vynnykivska Street. The beginning is at 14:00.
“We invite everyone to celebrate the important date of our community together. And also to join the volunteer goal of raising funds for local defenders who are now fighting for the integrity and freedom of Ukraine – Bohdan Klepar, Andriy Paliukh, Marian Kindratskyi, Roman Hrytsyk and volunteers who make drones,” the community office in Lysynychi said.
