Traditional Christmas Dinner 2018

The ESU Monmouth County Branch again celebrated our Traditional Christmas Dinner, this year on Friday, Dec. 7, 2018. It was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the delicious dinner, including Yorkshire pudding, carved roast, flaming plum pudding, and other traditional English holiday fare. Our exceptional entertainers, Marti Bookstein and her accompanist, led us in carols and holiday songs. The venue was beautifully decorated. Many thanks to everyone involved in organizing the very enjoyable evening.
