CURS PRESIDENT’S BARBECUE
Those of you who came to enjoy the President’s BBQ last year will
remember that it was rather great. It boasted a selection of Shahlik made
from a variety of meats, a big pot of delicious meaty PLOV, a rather huge
water melon and more. This year we hope to keep up the tradition, weather
permitting, and hopefully improve on last year.
