A Volga Girl's
2003 New Year's Banquet

held December 26, 2002

 
Our 2003 New Year's Banquet was a resounding success with 27 participants. We offer
the following photos for your review, and ask you to consider inviting your special lady
to a banquet in the future. The women in attendance were in various stages of their
relationships, some having already entertained visitors resulting in their engagement.

with plenty of champagne.

Juices, fruit, sweets, and
assorted salted fish
appetizers were waiting
to begin the party.

Mushrooms, salted salmon,
smoked ham, and yes ...
caviar

While there were many toasts throughout the evening, here
the newly engaged couple of Oksana & Ben are saluted by
all.

Oksana & Ben are a wonderful
couple, having announced their engagement a few days prior
to the banquet.

Everyone has questions for
the American men when they
visit Togliatti.

Ben corresponded with
Oksana for 3 months before making his trip to Togliatti.

Victoria is engaged to a man
from Ohio who traveled to
Togliatti to meet with her.
