The Milwaukee Peace Corps Association will be hosting its semi-annual Peace Corps Partnership Lunch, tentatively scheduled to be at Casablanca Restaurant on the East Side.

The focus of the Fall lunch is Africa. Peace Corps Partnership Lunches highlight the work that volunteers are doing in the field and help raise money for specific projects that volunteers are working on. Spread the word--invite family, friends or anyone you know who is interested in the Peace Corps or wants to learn more about MPCA. The cost is $25 per person and funds will go towards supporting PeaceCorps projects that we vote on during the lunch.

We hope to see you there!
