About Our International Vegetarian Food Fair
This is CMC’s annual signature event, held every May!  CMC members, hailing from more than 40 countries, prepare our favorite native dishes and wear our finest ethnic clothes.  Once a year we unite to present an unlimited “sampling” of authentic international vegetarian cuisines.  All items are vegetarian; those which are vegan are noted.  Please check back early next year to see when our 2009 Food Fair will be held or send your name and address to CMC and ask to be added to our mailing list.
