Come to one of our upcoming social events to get to know some fellow RPCVs! If you need more information, or if you would like to help plan or host an event, contact Nancy Horn at nancy@rpcvs.org.

We are currently finalizing our schedule for 2008.  Please come back soon and check for more upcoming events!
 

Please join your fellow RPCVs and friends for lunch at Masala Yangu, a new restaurant in Naperville.  Masala Yangu specializes in East African and Indian cuisine, serving "a potpourri of African, Arab and Indian cultures."  The restaurant has a buffet lunch available for $9.95 (not including drinks, tax, tip, etc), or you can order from the menu.  The buffet will include selections from the menu on their web site (http://www.masalayangu.com), though not everything on the web site will be available on the buffet.  We will not be collecting money before the event; pay your own bill directly at the restaurant.

Please RSVP to Tony (tony@rpcvs.org) by November 25th so we can reserve enough tables.
