International Neighbors and EBLP friends once again extend great thanks to Donna Cole and her husband and chef Tom for hosting the annual summer potluck on their lake in Toivola on June 27th! As in other years, Donna and Tom made their many water toys, canoes, and kayaks available to the kids for fun on the beautiful lake.
This year’s picnickers came from all over the world, including Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Germany, Thailand, Zimbabwe, China, Japan, Lithuania, Finland to help Americans celebrate their 250th anniversary.
Special thanks go to Miyoko for her smooth organization of the many delicious potluck dishes and also the cleanup!
