Sunday a Returned Peace Corps Volunteers Thanksgiving

Sunday was a day of celebration and thanksgiving. The Returned Peace Corps people, along with people from the YWCA, hosted a dinner for refugees in Buffalo, with special emphasis on those from Bhutan, also Nepal, Somalia and other places.



Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy was supplied, and besides that it was a "dish-to-pass" event, and oh those dishes! Many were rice-based and all were absolutely delicious. There were over 200 people there; the Peace Corps group waited until all went through the line before we got our own dinners, and then found places at tables if we could. After dinner there was entertainment, mostly dancing by several ethnic groups in costume.

I was surely thankful we were able to go, contribute our small dish, and participate in the festivities. They are planning to have another next year. We will plan to be there.

A good, and thankful, day.
