They cooked, they served, they ate, they sang. Some of them even had their faces painted. Butthey all turned out - with the weather's co-~operation - to make this year's Community Barbecue a success. The winner of the 1991 community service award is part- time student Marty Williams, a member of Board of Governors and the board of directors of the Central Student Association. In the photo at left, CSA vice-president for operations Shawn Lucas. right, presents Williams with the award.
