Last Thursday we were lucky enough to host representitives from Harvard University's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies who gave an extremely informative presentation on both the history and background of St. Petersburg. They provided a "what to expect" Q&A that gave us an opportunity to ask questions about traveling to the city and experiencing St. Petersburg culturally. It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to talk with others who had traveled to St. Petersburg and be reassured about all of our doubts (like the freezing weather!). We are very grateful to Cris, Beatrice, and Tom for giving the presentation!
Additionally, we recieved a $3000 grant from the Harvard Schools Trust - a very generous sum that took a load of fundrasing on our shoulders. Thanks!
We also recieved donations from our first two sponsors (find their links on our sidebar). Thank you very much to Sorrento's Pizzeria and Murphy Insurance Agency! We are now just about $900 away from reaching our fundraising goal.
