Saunaka 50th Anniversary Get-together In 1961, nine young Montreal friends who had followed their fathers into a number of different Estonian academic organizations, decided to form a new society — Saunaka — in order to stay close to each other. Despite the dispersal of members to Mexico, and to both coasts of The United States and Canada, Saunaka members have been gathering for reunions every 10 years. Last week, the group celebrated its 50th anniversary with a week-long reunion at the Northridge Resort in Muskoka.
Older Montrealers will remember that six of the members formed a popular dance band that often played at Pruuli’s hall. |
