Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a wonderful week. For those curious readers, my snake bite is all healed up. You actually wouldn't know it happened unless you were there. My kids are counting down the days until summer, are yours?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience 40 countries in one day?
At the 63rd International Street Fair, you have a chance to do just that! Come out on April 21, from 12 - 6 PM to the Alumni Mall at Virginia Tech.
Learn about customs and traditions from international and cultural student organizations here at Virginia Tech. Visit the booths and be transported to countries with demonstrations, cultural displays, music, and Virginia Tech Students dressed in beautiful traditional wear. There will be interactive presentations from international groups, traditional games, arts, crafts, and other items available for purchase from students.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for being loyal subscribers & sponsors.
