Summer banquets are always an exciting event for
those ladies in attendance. Our 2004 Summer Women's Banquet was also
attended by two American visitors along with their "special dates."
|
Whenever possible, we ask that our banquet tables
are arranged "in the round." This allows everyone at the
table to engage iin easy conversation. Yes, that is a man at the table
with all of those women. Jason was visiting from Florida and was attending
the banquet with a lady with whom he was in correspondence.

Elena was very pleased to attend this
banquet. She is expecting a visitor
within a few short weeks of this evening.
|
|
|
Olesia is always excited when receiving a letter from her fiance Jim.
Within a few months she will be living with him in North Carolina.
|
Svetlana and Tatiana appear
to be having a great time. |
A Volga Girl's Ludmila Semukhina
agrees that working in the office
has a few "fringe benefits."
|
 
Vasilisa (L) and Olga (R) are both quite serious about
their relationships. Olga will soon reunite with her fiance Dan in sunny
California.
|
Elena truly does appear
to be "the lady in red."
|
Svetlana looks forward to a visit in December from
her friend Glenn in Pennsylvania.
|
|
|
It is not uncommon that for a man to invite a special
lady to one of our banquets, and then mail a special gift to our Togliatti
office. Here we see Olga receiving a special gift sent from the USA
by her friend Jeff (Maryland).

|
The attendance of foreign (male) visitors is always a point of interest
during our banquets. In the photos above we see Ben (California) and
Tatiana.

A toast to all of the men corresponding with these
lovely ladies...
|
It must be told that without the guidance, organization and assistance
of Russian Office Manager Helen Bessonova (left) -- our Women's Banquets
would not be possible. Thank you so much Helen!
