On Thursday evening, March 6, 2003, A Volga Girl
sponsored our 3th annual International Women's Day Banquet. This
holiday (officially March 8th) widely celebrated in Russia and many other
countries around the world. The women pictured here were invited by the
men with whom they are in correspondence.
The banquet table was prepared and some wonderful food & drink
were
awaiting the special guests.

Berthold traveled from Austria to visit Irina and attend
the banquet.
