				<title><![CDATA[Croatian Language and Culture Program – September 20, 3pm at Covenant Church/School, 9 Westminster Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[CLCP is supported by NEFC.  The program will not only include the language and culture, but also will offer puppetry, knitting, crocheting, and embroidery workshops. For a schedule of workshops, visit the website. 
<br><br>
In addition, this year we are introducing tamburitza classes which will be conducted following the CLCP program at the Covenant Church. The classes will be free this year as we are trying to gauge interest to determine the frequency and way to structure it for future years.
<br><br>
We’ve obtained textbooks for learning Croatian from “Skolska Knjiga.”
<br><br>
Children of families who are NEFC members will receive textbooks free.
