The Spring Fling is your final opportunity to participate in this initiative. Be sure to visit the “Taste of Haiti” booth and …Buy a Brick to rebuild the Episcopal Cathedral. Bricks are $10, but donations in any amount are accepted. Our model will be on display so you can see the progress we’ve made. Sample delicious Haitian cuisine. Back by popular demand is the Boeuf a I’Haitienne (Haitian beef with tomatoes and peppers)!
