Greetings From Istanbul

Last Thursday we were visited by Mehmet and Eda, a couple from Istanbul, Turkey who are both members of the Rotary Club of Istanbul. Mehmet spoke to us about their Club, which he said had approximately 25 members, and the work that they do in their community. Specifically, he talked about their recent efforts to provide food to refugees from the Syrian conflict and the ways in which that conflict has affected both his country and his Club. He and Eda were also very proud to announce that their daughter was starting as a junior at Ms. Hall's School this fall, and kindly brought a traditional Turkish dessert to share with us.
