Encounters International invites everybody interested in finding out more about American-Russian romance and marriage to attend an annual

Open House
Saturday, February 15, 1997
4:00pm to 6:00pm.

This is the fourth time that we will open the doors and welcome our engaged and married couples, our current members and all those who are interested in discovering the best-kept secret of the cold war: Russian women. For those engaged and married, the Open House is an excellent opportunity to make new friends and to feel a part of the fast-growing community of American-Russian couples introduced by Encounters International. They can also use this opportunity to share their success stories and be a source of inspiration for others. For single men, it is a great opportunity to find out if the woman of his dreams has a Russian accent and to learn the practical steps of turning that dream into reality. Additionally, this event provides the chance for an American man to meet a Russian dream girl face-to-face.
