Corvallis Community Center, 2601 NW Tyler Ave, Corvallis, Corvallis

We cordially invite you to join us to celebrate our 20^th anniversary. In addition to the delicious meal, and entertainment, delegates from Ethiopia will give short presentation how our relationship impacts them. Funds raised from these dinners support the on-going educational and water related projects between our sister city, Gondar, and Corvallis.

This year’s dinner will consist of the following dishes: Tikel Gomen (Cabbage dish), Misir Wot (Red lentil dish), Kik Alicia Wot (Yellow split pea dish), Doro Wot (Chicken dish), Salata (Ethiopian salad), and Teff Injera (Traditional Gluten Free Ethiopian bread), and prepared by our talented Ethiopian chef, Eleni Woldeyes (below).

We especially thank the many volunteers who helped organize this event and students from Corvallis’ local schools and Oregon State University.  We also thank our local sponsors who provide in-kind gifts.

We sincerely appreciate the tremendous support of our community and interest in this cultural dinner and projects being sponsored in our sister city, Gondar, Ethiopia.  Please contact us if you’d like to join and share in this continuous exchange of ideas, expertise, and cultural experiences
