On November 23, Traces had their last Gospel Brunch at the Rica Victoria hotel.

Traces started the brunch in conjunction with Rica in 2007, and it had been a regular feature in the Traces calendar. Especially popular was the "Thanksgiving" brunch, usually held on the Saturday after the American Thanksgiving holiday. Americans who attended the brunch viewed it as a way to get a slice of home, and others came to experience the American food and culture associated with the holiday. We will miss doing the brunch, but as they say, all good things must come to an end.

Thank you Rica, Tony Sweet and everyone who participated in making the brunch a success over the years.
