Diplomatic Economic Club^{® Since 1997}

Every year, members of the club come to the village of Ruķiši near Riga, the recreation complex and the park «Kolotilovka», where since 2001 they have been taking part in planting lilac bushes and cleaning the territory of the Friendship Alley of the Diplomatic Economic Club.
This year the meeting of the club was held on June 2.
Members of the club planted new bushes, removed the garbage, watered the lilac bushes.

Nikolai Kolotilo gave a tour of the park complex.
Every year, the collection of the park is replenished with new designs, invented personally by N. Kolotilo.This year, a chest appeared, which, as in the folk tales «tablecloth — self-assembly», turns into a «buffet» at will!

Members of the club wished Nikolai Kolotilo health, well-being and expressed their gratitude for maintaining the tradition of planting lilac bushes on the land of Latvia every year by representatives from around the world!
