Upcoming Events
Thursday, May 13
6:30 p.m. at Eighth Street Mennonite Church, 602 South Eighth Street, Goshen Following a traditional Peruvian meal prepared by Susie Lambright, Dean Rhodes, Associate Professor of Spanish at Goshen College, will take us on a journey to Peru to look at both the historical and the current events that have brought the country to its current landscape. Dean’s 2004 sabbatical included research in Peru to explore the migration from rural to urban settings. He found that, as with many urban centers, Peru’s capital, Lima, faces problems caused by the rapid migration of job seekers to the city. RSVP by Monday, May 10. To attend chapter meetings and dinners, RSVP by phoning 87-RSVP-MEDA, email , or fill out and send the RSVP form on this site Meal and program costs are $15 for members, $20 for non members, and $5 for students. Please note any special dietary needs with reservation. The meal is payable at the event.
