Where do I mark a lambda expression async?

by

I’ve got this code:

private async void ContextMenuForGroupRightTapped(object sender, RightTappedRoutedEventArgs args)
{
    CheckBox ckbx = null;
    if (sender is CheckBox)
    {
        ckbx = sender as CheckBox;
    }
    if (null == ckbx)
    {
        return;
    }
    string groupName = ckbx.Content.ToString();

    var contextMenu = new PopupMenu();

    // Add a command to edit the current Group
    contextMenu.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Edit this Group", (contextMenuCmd) =>
    {
        Frame.Navigate(typeof(LocationGroupCreator), groupName);
    }));

    // Add a command to delete the current Group
    contextMenu.Commands.Add(new UICommand("Delete this Group", (contextMenuCmd) =>
    {
        SQLiteUtils slu = new SQLiteUtils();
        slu.DeleteGroupAsync(groupName); // this line raises Resharper's hackles, but appending await raises err msg. Where should the "async" be?
    }));

    // Show the context menu at the position the image was right-clicked
    await contextMenu.ShowAsync(args.GetPosition(this));
}

…that Resharper’s inspection complained about with, “Because this call is not awaited, execution of the current method continues before the call is completed. Consider applying the ‘await’ operator to the result of the call” (on the line with the comment).

And so, I prepended an “await” to it but, of course, I then need to add an “async” somewhere, too – but where?
