Our never-boring neighborhood has taken on a decidedly cosmopolitan flair this fall.
New neighbors from Finland and Vietnam join the mixture of international residents already among us and the just-as-interesting group of plain, old Americans. Conversation certainly shouldn’t lag this year, and the pot luck dinners ought to be fantastic! Here’s our news for October:
We are pleased to welcome two Vietnamese families to our neighborhood. Loc and Hoa Huynh and their five children, aged 2-8, are living in the 6100 block of Waterman, in a home purchased from Avis Carlson by Sue Bretz of the 3rd Baptist Church for Church World Services. You are sure to notice their beautiful little girls and we hope to be getting to know Loc and Hoa very soon.
