The International Potluck Dinner is an annual LCN event.  This year it will  be held on Wednesday, November 28,  at the First Presbyterian Church of  Norristown, beginning at 6:30 PM.

The food is provided by LCN students and tutors.  We have been served delicious ethnic cuisine such as Mexican enchiladas, Vietnamese spring rolls, Iranian eggplant, Indian curries, and dishes from several other countries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Desserts, soft drinks, tea and coffee are also served.

In addition to the delicious meal, students and their tutors are recognized for their participation in both ESL and individual programs, as well as the improvement in language skills that the students have achieved.

Door prizes will be awarded to lucky attendees.

Tutors; please remind your students about this event..
