Sixth Annual Robert Burns Supper

Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. is our Sixth Annual Robert Burns Supper being held at Portland State University. Dinner will be held again in the PSU Ballroom in the Smith Memorial Student Union Building. The last four years have been spectacular! We would like to thank everyone who has attended in the past and welcome you to attend the dinner again this year!

For those of you that have never experienced a Burns Supper before I have attached an information sheet with a little background information on what this is all about. (Please click on the words Burns Supper above).
