International Student Thanksgiving Dinner
Date: November 2003
We would like to thank all of those involved with organizing the last International Student Thanksgiving Dinner. The dinner was, by far, the most successful dinner to date! We had approximately 175 attendees. Thanks and appreciation is also given to Special Moments for providing a beautiful Thanksgiving Turkey with all the trimmings! Thank you also to the Indian Delhi Palace, the Royal Taj, Taste of India and Priya restaurants for donating all the wonderful variety of tasteful Indian dishes. A special thanks to Balbir Grewal, of The Taste of India, for all her hard work in coordinating and arranging food menus for the restaurants mentioned above. But most of all, we would like to thank you, the International Students, for attending! We hope to see you again for next year's International Student Thanksgiving Dinner.
