St. Michael's Sanctuary, Portland, Oregon
This bowl came with Russian immigrants to America, lovingly protected in a strong box for the trip.
The opening general session to the 2012 Convention was held at St. Michael's Sanctuary in Portland. Dr. Richard Scheuerman was the keynote speaker. He spoke about the first Volga German immigrants to the Pacific Northwest who came from Kansas to Portland via steamship from San Francisco in 1881. They were joined by another group that arrived via wagon train from Nebraska.
