To the Editor:

The Onset Cape Verdean Festival Association would like to give a big heartfelt "thank you" to all the supporters and volunteers who came out on May 13 to support the Mother’s Day Brunch. The support of all of those from the community once again made the event a great success. Our second annual brunch and was just as great or if not better then last year's.
