Some serious Air Hockey
and some serious Pizza eating!

and
Pysanky . . . What's that?


Pysanky is an old Ukrainian tradition. Each design on a traditional egg is comprised of various symbols, like diamonds=knowledge, spiders=patience, dots=tears of Mary, etc.... Wax is applied in layers to the egg. In between the layers of wax the egg is dyed in progressively darker colors. The wax keeps the next color off the previous color. The last color applied is black. The wax is then removed to revile the pattern. Karen Sternberg shared her talent with the MSY group in this complex process that goes way beyond basic egg dipping.
