P.S.: CALLING ALL TAMAL LOVERS!
TamalFest DC is back for a second year. But we need your help to make it an even bigger success than last year’s sold-out extravaganza. We’re now recruiting cooks, chefs, restaurants and cooking teams of friends, family members, school groups or community organizations. We also need organizing committee members, volunteers for the day of the TamalFest, and event sponsors.
Come to our informational meeting next Wednesday, Sept. 14, and learn more!
