JC What's Cooking
Don't miss an evening of Portuguese cuisine for our first JC What's Cooking night of the year, Thursday, January 26 at 7pm. JC Dad Vasco Ribeiro will be cooking Portuguese favorite  bacalhau à Brás, along with other native specialties, with Portuguese wine matched to the dishes. For dessert-- Vasco's famous apple pie and mango mousse. The event will be hosted at the Resnick family home. $40 per person includes all food and wine. 

What's Cooking is a favorite JC fundraiser that celebrates our multicultural school. Each event is held in the home of a JC family and showcases an ethnic cuisine, prepared by our very own JC parents. Parents are invited to attend, and for $40, enjoy a meal and socialize with other JC parents. All proceeds go to the JC PTA. 

Space is limited to 25 people. Please RSVP to Jamie Cahill or Janice Meyerjamie_s_cahill@yahoo.com or  jdmeyer123@aol.com.
