IntroIntro

I am Bogdana. Not so long ago I arrived in the States and I noticed there were not so many places to go for my country mates here. It gave me an idea to create a big Social Center for Ukrainians in Washington DC.

My Business IdeaMy Business Idea

It’s going to be a place of holidays, parties, meetings, concerts, movies and different social activities for Ukrainians currently living in the United States of America and who would like to keep in touch with their country mates.

International night once per month is available.
