March/April 2019 SHEPHERD PARK NEWS PAGE 7 Havana in the Park - Hurray! by John Folger & Stacey Lincoln, Potluck Co-Chairs photos by Beth Allaben, Ryan Waddy, and Cynthia Prather hat better way to spend a cold, late January afternoon than in the warm company of your Wneighbors, eating good food and dancing to a hot, Caribbean beat? That’s just what Shepherd Park did at this year’s annual potluck gathering. With a warm island theme of “Havana in the Park,” neighbors shared their favorite dishes, caught up with old friends and made new ones, and even learned how to dance Cuban Casino. This year’s event was held at the Washington Ethical Society, and we thank them for their generous hospitality. Thanks also to the Potluck Planning Committee members – Brenda Mejia, Elizabeth Caiafa, Jason Cohen, Cynthia Prather, Claudia Anyaso, and Naima Jefferson – and to all those that came out to help set up and break down. A special thanks to DC City Councilmembers Brandon Todd and Elissa Silverman, and the Cuban delegation that attended the event. And of course, thanks to all our neighbors for coming out, bringing food, and having fun. Hope to see you, and even more neighbors next year. Photo by Diony Sanabia,Cuban Press
