A New Beginning

Dear Reader,

This is the first issue of our online bi-monthly newsletter for the friends of Pacifica Institute in the Bay Area. The Pacifica Institute community is committed to making connections. If you have received this newsletter by e-mail, we have probably made a connection with you in the past. If not, we are about to make one. This newsletter aims to keep this connection throughout the year.
Our very first issue is woven around the theme of Thanksgiving. Two articles, “Reflections: Out Of Many We Are One” and “Pacifica Diary: A memorable Thanksgiving Dinner at Pacifica”, provide in-depth accounts of Pacifica Institute’s Thanksgiving activities. In our “Interesting Facts” section, you’ll be surprised to learn how the bird “turkey” is linked to the country “Turkey”. Our biggest event of the past year in the South Bay Area is covered in “Scope: Annual Dialog and Friendship Dinner 2008”. Finally, the “Recipe Corner” will help you try out two delicious recipes.

Please energize the connection from your end by letting us know what you think about our newsletter (e-mail: pacificasv@pacificainstitute.org). In the mean time, we’ll keep working on making new connections. Enjoy.
