COS

After our Thanksgiving celebration, our group had our Close of Service Conference (COS). It was a good conference...my favorite so far, but that could be because they were a lot more relaxed with us. They talked to us about our options after Peace Corps & brought in some excellent guest speakers. My favorite though was our "Lack of Talent Show" & dinner on our last night.




And the talent show:

It's tradition for each group to present Peace Corps staff with a gift. I was in charge of putting ours together. Here I am working on it. Luckily, I had a lot of help...or it wouldn't have gotten done. We presented it to Dr. John at dinner.

After dinner, we got together in a couple of rooms for a last get-together (this will be the last time we're all together). And some random pics from the conference:
