A few years ago, members voted on a poll for the Prospect Park picnic grounds!
We've found the location convenient, easy to find, close to MTA, parking avail., siy-suw-gahn nearby, etc.
Whether your response is 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'? please RSVP, Thank you!

I'll bring something to throw out any trash.
As always; there will be some words to be learned in reference to the event!

If anybody is interested in acquiring more info. about Tribute to the Cantonese/Toisan People and what it's about - Including the FREE classes; at least one(1) of the teachers/advisors will be there, and we'll have informative flyers etc. available.

We had a great time,.. so even if you didn't make it last year - JOIN US!
