THANKSGIVING DINNER FOR UKRAINIAN STUDENTS
Friday, November 28th at 7p.m
Event hall at St. Volodymyr’s Cathedral160 W. 82nd Street, New York City
The USA/USA Program is cordially inviting you to its annual Thanksgiving dinner for the scholarship students from Ukraine in the United States. Organizing this dinner, we hope to surround every student and guest with warmth of a home-cooked meal and to excite all who come with an interesting discussion. We are asking all attending non-students for a kind donation of $20, which will buy their share of steaming turkey with mashed potatoes and sponsor one student meal. We are still working out the dinner menu and will update you as soon as everything is arranged.
During the course of the evening, Bohdana Smyrnova , a talented Ukrainian filmmaker, will be showing her new film about the USA/USA.
We thank Veselka, Self Reliance (NY) Federal Credit Union and Baczynsky Meat Market for their generous support this year.
