active members. The membership fee was 50 rubles.
Riga is the capital of Latvia
and currently the largest city. It was founded in 1201. As like many European
countries it has been affiliated with many governments over the years. In 1923,
when this card was issued, Latvia
enjoyed its own Republic
of Latvia (1918 – 1940).

I apologize for mixing up my days. The girls are on exam week so my schedule is
