Each family presenting will have table space to present cultural artifacts, demonstrate arts and crafts, offer language lessons, etc. If you would like to participate, please sign up at this link and we will contact you with more information. Please sign up by March 17, 2023. As a reminder, the following are prohibited; incense, candles, hot plates, homemade food or beverages. Any food being served must be store bought, wrapped, with an ingredient list.
