International Dinners Are Back at Pinkham! 🌍🍽️

We kicked off the 32nd International Dinner series on 1/7 with a fantastic presentation on Albania from Keith Watling. This week, AMC President & CEO Nicole Zussman shared stories from her trip to Brazil—where she discovered the “AMC of the Amazon” lodge, trekked through the jungle, went birding on the Cristalino River, and spotted a massive tapir right outside her hut!

On the menu: Pão de Queijo, Heart of Palm Empadas, Swordfish Moqueca, Coconut Rice, Feijoada Veggie Medley, and Baked Pineapple. 🇧🇷

We’ve got 10 more dinners to go—join us for one (or more)!
