Peace Corps people celebrate 50 years
All Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs), RPCVs (“Remaining” Peace Corps Volunteers) and present and former Peace Corps staff in Costa Rica are invited to an unofficial 50th anniversary casual gathering Saturday at 2 p.m. at Mac’s American Bar and Grill, in western San José’s Sabana Sur neighborhood. No RSVP needed – just come on down. If you want to get on “the list” (to be shared with everyone), email your contact information to third-year PCV Dina Navar at dina.navar@gmail.com.
