Dear Friends,

You are cordially invited to attend the Second Annual Fair of Romanians in New England, on Saturday, the 3rd of December 2011, between the hours of 4 and 8 PM, at Newton Lower Falls Community Center (545 Grover St., Newton, MA).

Those organizations that do not have representatives on site can send promotional materials that will be displayed on a special stand. If you represent an organization wishing to participate or sponsor the fair, please read this page and contact us as soon as possible at info@ar-ne.org.

Besides the commercial and professional aspect of the fair you will also find:
– Ambiance and Romanian music

– Romanian wine tasting
– Supervised Children’s program that includes watching a Romanian kids movie
– Raffle of products and services offered by the businesses and organizations present
