CHANUKAH CHINESE DINNER Sunday, December 25, 2016 Second Night of Chanukah NHS Men's Club presented an outstanding dinner and Chanukah program on Sunday evening, December 25th. the festivities began with the lighting of the menorahs that people brought from home. Then we all enjoyed potato latkes with applesauce and sweet and sour sauce. The dinner buffet featured hot and sour soup, served by Brian Freedman, and a variety of authentic Chinese dishes, including home-made egg rolls, chicken with vegetables, white and fried rice, braised beef, and green beans with tofu. After a delightful dessert of fortune cookies, sufganiot (jelly donuts), grapes and oranges, NHS member Vic Amster performed magic tricks on the stage, assisted by the Lazear grand-kids! Everyone who contributed to the event was thanked, and then we all went to either watch a movie in the Social Hall or play games in the Youth Lounge.
