Call for Memory Pieces from editors of Buralarda:
ATTENTION,
ATTENTION!!!!! DEADLINES, EVERYONE!
We are putting out 3 final (that means FINAL) issues of Buralarda this
year (April, September and late December which will include a report
on what Arkadașlar has done).
First of the final three
issues.
YOU won't be on the mailing list for those unless you pay your
$30 dues to Linda Scheffer.
Deadline for paying dues if you want to get all the issues of
Buralarda: March 15, 2018
Deadline for submitting volunteer or staff memory piece of what
Turkey Peace Corps meant to you, for possible inclusion in the first
issue of Buralarda: March 1, 2018. Submission by this date does
not guarantee you'll be included in the first issue but we intend to
include all submissions, edited, in the planned 3 issues of the
year. 300-500 words are suggested. Please include a picture of
yourself during Turkey days, if possible. Send to co-editors Peggy
Hanson (hanusa2@gmail.com) and Dale Evans (evans@hawaii.edu).
Deadline for memory piece of what Turkey Peace Corps meant to you
for inclusion in the last two issues of Buralarda: August 1, 2018.
We have received some wonderful submissions so far. Some people
have preferred to share advice on Turkish food, books, etc. and
those will be included, too. Do please participate in this last
year of Arkadaslar's set of memories and musings! These issues of Buralarda will
also be given to the Peace Corps, the Library of Congress and
anywhere else we might archive our memories.
Thank you. Peggy, Dale and the Board |
Remembering Sandy Anderson
 It is with profound sadness that we remember our dear
friend and an Arkadașlar mainstay, Sandy
Anderson, who passed away unexpectedly on March 5, 2017. All of us
in the Arkadașlar community are still reeling
from the shock of her untimely death. Sandy was the "go-to" person for
getting questions answered about Arkadașlar on
everything from our database of members, the directory, the listserv,
the special publications (photo books), the annual bayram dinners, and
much, much more. She collected news for Buralarda, the
website, for the different training groups. She was a terrific
organizer, correspondent, historian, writer, educator, colleague, and
friend. We will all miss her greatly.
March Buralarda
with tribute to Sandy
Anderson. Sandy's
