Youth Exchange students create International Dinner for Rotarians and guests

An enthusiastic crew of international chefs set out a sumptuous four course dinner at the home of PJ Whitbeck in Plattsburgh on Saturday, May 7. The chefs included three Youth Exchange Rebounds, two Inbounds, one Outbound and two Rotarians. The international meal for eight was the grand prize of a Youth Exchange fundraiser raffle, won by Plattsburgh Sunrise member PJ Whitbeck for his family and guests. Funds go to help defray the cost of the Youth Exchange program.

 

Youth Exchange students from the area love to share their home cultures with dishes from their home countries which included food from Japan, Spain, Slovakia, Denmark, Turkey, Switzerland and Venezuela.

 

Guests at the event also learned how to dance the salsa and had their Turkish coffee grounds read by a Gypsy.
