Saying Goodbye to Terry Mattison!



On October 06, 2013  the Window on America Center visitors in Lutsk gathered to have a farewell party to Terry Mattison., the America Peace Corps Volunteer in Lutsk.


 Three years ago our city had honor to meet Terry Mattison. His visit had a concrete mission to promote world peace and friendship. And during these three years he worked at the City Council and every Sunday came to the WOA Room to organize different informative events for whose people who wanted to get knowledge about the United States of America 

The WOA visitors were happy to discover such fun and supportive Movie  and Speaking Clubs. Terry made our WOA Center community even stronger. He was the first who helped to organize events out of the Center ( We had a series of English language Tours of the Old City of Lutsk what helped us to attract more people to the Center). 





We want to thank Terry for building bridges of understanding between the USA and Ukraine.



 



After the interesting and lovely talk based on a period drama – “A River Runs Through It”, one of the most favorite movie of our American friend, Terry prepared one surprise – Fly Fishing “master class”.










 He showed the visitors the special techniques of casting with a fly rod, an ancient art. Everyone could even try his hand with a rod.






“WE WILL MISS YOU OUR DEAR TERRY”, said the WOA Center visitors to the American friend. “THANK YOU, TERRY, FOR YOUR GREAT HELP”.

We are  sure that the farewell is necessary before we can meet You again in Ukraine)! See You soon!
