Talka – A Tradition of Community Service

Kursa was built from the ground up as a community, and that same tradition continues on today. As a community we come together from far and wide every Memorial Day weekend for our Lielā Talka. Our own take on spring cleaning, we mark the passing of winter by improving, maintaining, and polishing our home, readying it for it’s use during the summer.
