BDN reports on monthly Women of the World lunches in Orono
Nearly four decades after it began, a University of Maine program that brings women with international roots together for internationally themed lunches and presentations, is still going strong, the Bangor Daily News reports. Every month, roughly 40 women and children meet in the basement of the Church of Universal Fellowship in Orono to try international cuisines and explore cultural traditions. Mireille LeGal, an international student adviser at UMaine, runs the Women of the World out of the university’s Office of International Programs. “It’s great to learn about different cultures and different traditions,” LeGal told the BDN. “It’s also a great way to try different food that you wouldn’t eat otherwise.”
