The location of this event is the Ebenezer Baptist Church, 46 Q Street, N.W., Washington, DC. All proceeds from this and other YSC activities will be applied to the implementation of youth programming in the community this summer. If you get a chance and would like a delicious meal, I urge you to give these guys a try. The a reasonable facsimile of the flyer that has been circulated around the community is pasted below. Hope to see you there!
