International Dinner Series - Eritrea
As 24 Rotarians and Guests gathered at Maida Restaurant for the return of the International
Dinner Series, the smiles and fellowship signaled it was a HUGE SUCCESS!
The Bloor and Ossington restaurant came alive with engaging conversation and shared drinks.
Patrons indulged in a variety of authentic Eritrean dishes including - Shiro, Birsin, Kitfo and Tibsi.
To close the evening, we were treated to a wonderful presentation by the Owner
