American Corner Bitola Celebrates Its Fifth Anniversary

October 30, 2008

“This Corner has taken a small slice of a building and created an American presence that far exceeds its physical space,” said U.S. Ambassador Philip Reeker during his remarks to celebrate American Corner Bitola’s fifth anniversary. “Congratulations on all that you have achieved.” American Corner Bitola is a collaboration among the U.S. Embassy, the Ministry of Culture, and the Macedonian American Alumni Association. The mayor of Bitola, Vladimir Talevski, also spoke at the event. In addition, young American Corner members read essays about what they’d learned at the Corner, the Ambassador and coordinator Tasha Jovanovski gave certificates of appreciation to local partners and active Peace Corps volunteers, and the Corner presented video highlights of the first five years. Live music and a fabulous cake featuring both the American and Macedonian flags completed the event.
