W&L LALSA

One of our 3L members representing LALSA in the annual W&L Chilli Cookoff.

Gracias to everyone who came out to our W&L LALSA sponsored Asasdo Argentino & Spooky Stories Dia de Los Mu***os celebration!

Hi LALSA familia!

Join us Saturday, November 2, for a traditional Argentinian barbecue (Asado Argentino) to celebrate the end of Hispanic Heritage Month! One of our fellow members will be hosting at his house and grilling traditional Argentinian food for us.

We will also be sharing some "real" spooky ghost stories to celebrate the end of the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Mu***os) or All Saints' Day (Día de Los Santos/Todos Santos) as known through many Mexico, and many Central and South American countries.

Time: 6-8pm
Location: 519 Arpia Street

This will be a great opportunity to get to know other LALSA members, eat traditional Argentinian food, and have a fun relaxing Saturday evening! Feel free to bring a guest as non LALSA members are welcome! A big dinner will be provided, but BYOB.

If you have any questions or trouble finding the place, call or text Sarah Brettin at 505-412-9035. Hope to see you all there!
