Vietnam Family Camp

Before I jump into camp, I want to extend an invitation for local (or any) families to attend a Vietnamese lunch for Lunar New Year. We have two local Vietnamese churches in Tulsa and both have invited us to celebrate with them on February 14th at noon. They have a huge lunch, games and fellowship. Our family attends St. Joseph's as we are enrolled in their language school. We get to see them all the time, so we are actually going to attend the other LNY celebration with Pastor Le at the Baptist church. (That is a hard decision, frown!)
PLEASE join us on 2-14-10 at 12:00pm at Vietnamese Baptist Church (101st and Elm) for lunch. Pastor Le is precious and beyond supportive of our children and the adoptive community. If you have any questions you can leave a comment and I will contact you. Thank you!
