The International Christian Fellowship at Ohio University is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for international students on campus. The event will be held on November 27th in the Baker University Center Ballroom. The goal is for international students to not feel left out or alone during the Thanksgiving season when many students will be traveling home to be with their families. The dinner aims to rekindle a spirit of love and togetherness across continents for students who are far from home. The university president will deliver a special Thanksgiving message at the event. The writer invites a reporter to cover the story for the school newspaper to welcome students back after the holiday break.

A PITCH LETTER
Dear Emma,
The month of November is just a month away and before we know it we will all be
ushered into the season of Thanksgiving. Very soon, everything around us from the
pumpkin pies in the small grocery store to the giant billboards in the cities will be
announcing the coming of this festivity. This season will bring people from the
north, the east and the west of this nation to reunite with their families and loved
ones. Once again, families will sit around the dinning table to share meals and
exchange pleasantries.
As we celebrate this joyous day with our families here in the States, has it ever
occurred to you or anyone to find out how this day is been celebrated by
international students whose families are miles apart? The International Christian
Fellowship (ICF), a student organization with the International Student and Faculty
Services (ISFS) in Ohio University will host a Thanksgiving dinner for all
international students on campus. The event will be held on Thurs., Nov. 27 in Baker
University Center Ballroom.
Ohio University-A Home Away from Home, has become the new home for our
international students and we don’t want them to feel left out during this occasion.
This is an occasion to rekindle the spirit of love and oneness across continents for
these students who have found a home away from home. It’s a pleasure to invite you
to this great upcoming event. You don’t want to miss out on this international
edition of Thanksgiving right here on campus.
I believe honoring our invitation would be a Thanksgiving away from your family
and loved ones but it will be a great time with us. Just anticipate a Thanksgiving
experience compared to none you will ever have.
The President of the university, Roderick J. McDavis, will deliver a special
Thanksgiving message during the event. This is definitely the story you would want
to have splash on the front page of The Post to welcome students back to campus
from Thanksgiving break. You are welcome to contact my office for any further
information on this event.
Best,
Christiana Ampadu.
