Elder Program Potluck

Last Thursday, December 11th, was the last day of the Louisville Refugee Elder Program until February 2015. The program is dismissing for winter break, and students brought in food for a large potluck to celebrate the upcoming break and winter season. Most of these dishes were from student's home countries, and allowed students, volunteers, and teachers to try different types of food that they might not have tried previously.  Also as a special treat, college students from the University of Louisville's Theater Department put on a performance for all of the students to enjoy.

Students watched as theater students performed a play. The play utilized interviews and personal narratives that the Elder Program students has provided a few weeks earlier.

Only some of the delicious food brought in by students for the potluck. There was so much food and everyone left very full!
After the meal, many students decided to play a few rounds of BINGO.

The potluck was a wonderful way to end a great year at the Louisville Refugee Elder Program. Here is to 2015!
