Honorary Consuls
World-wide, Estonia has over 200 honorary consuls. But, what is an honorary consul? Do their duties include anything other than attending parties? How does one become an honorary consul? Why aren't all honorary consuls Estonian? Why do people agree to serve in this nonpaying position? A cross-section of Estonia's North American Honorary Consuls will cover these and other questions in a panel discussion. They will also answer questions from the audience.
Confirmed participants are honorary consuls :
Martin Enrique Torres Lara from Tampico, Mexico,
Mary Nippert from Cincinnati, Ohio
Michael Chan from Phoenix, Arizona.
Laas Leivat from Toronto, Canada and Paul Raidna from Seattle,Washington have also tentatively agreed to participate on the panel.
Estonia's senior honorary consul, Jaak Treiman of Los Angeles, will chair the panel.
This is a first time opportunity to find out more about the duties of honorary consuls and what they do in addition to delivering passports.

Opening SOIREE
Kaks aastat on möödunud ajast kui olime viimati koos meie LEP sõpradega Whistleris LEP2015 raames. Aeg on käes nendega uuesti kohtuda ja sõprusringi suurendada uute tutvustega. Õhtu algab kokteilitunniga, millele järgneb avatseremoonia, kus avamiseks on kutsutud kohalikud ning Eesti esindajad. Järgnevalt kantakse ette pidulik õhtusöök. Muusika eest hoolitseb Boogie Company koos Ivo Linnaga, muusikat saab nautida tantsu saatel. Nii peaks kujunema üks meeldejääv õhtu, millega alustada nädalalõppu.
Two years have passed since LEP 2015 in Whistler and the time is right to meet you LEP friends once again and to widen the circle with new acquaintances. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception, followed by the opening ceremony featuring local dignitaries as well as those from Estonia. A sit
down dinner will be served followed by an evening of music and dance featuring Ivo Linna, and Boogie Company. A perfect evening to start the weekend off right!

Estonian culture is about song, and music has helped us to reaffirm our identity as Estonians for hundreds of years. In fact, the 150th anniversary of the Song Festival in Estonia will take place in 2019. We sing. It's what we do, and it's not different here on the west coast. The Song Festival has been a central part of each West Coast Estonian Days program. The choir will include singers from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and guest from other locations as well, including our friends from our homeland Estonia.

Lastetuba
Kui vanemad võtavad osa seminaridest või laulu- ja tantsuproovidest, oleme mõelnud ka lastele leida tegevust. Sel aastal on lastetoa peasponsoriks “Angry Birds” ja koos nende abiga pakume lastele päeva jooksul huvitavat ja lõbusat tegevust. Toas saavad olema ka emad ja isad, kes aitavad tegevust organiseerida ning hoiavad lastel silma peal.
Kid's Room
There will undoubtedly be moments during the Estonian Days when you may want to attend a seminar or go to a practice and your kids will need something to do. This year's Kid's Room will be sponsored by “Angry Birds.” They will supply us with fun activities for your kids! The room will be supervised by moms and dads to make sure the kids have something to do and they will help keep an eye on things.
