New England Area Dinner-- 2004
The New
England Area RPCV's gathered on Saturday, October 30, for a
wonderful Bayram celebration at the Istanbul Cafe in Boston
[Brighton].
People came from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Turkey [new Turkish
friends Mine Öztürk and Emre Öztürk]. Most of us had not met before,
but in true Peace Corps spirit we were instant friends, sharing memories
and reflections from memorable times in Turkey. Lynn Maichle and
Margaret Fearey were the organizers of the event were we feasted on
wonderful Turkish food and raki. They also held a drawing - with
Kavaklidere wine as prizes. Needless to say, we all look forward to the
next time we can get together, hoping that other area Turkey RPCV's will
be able to join us.
