Park Forest, IL—(ENEWSPF)—February 21, 2016. On Thursday, April 14, 2016, the 19th Annual Diversity Dinners will be held across the south suburbs. On this evening, residents will open their homes to celebrate rich diversity in small gatherings by sharing a meal and lively discussion, which can lead to greater understanding and some new friendships.
The Diversity Dinners bring people of different races, religions, ethnicities, lifestyles and age together to enjoy a delicious dinner, discuss their common goals, understand differences, address misconceptions and offer solutions to strengthen our communities. This experience can open doors to enhanced appreciation for the unique mosaic of people, who live in the south suburbs.
The event, funded by contributions from individuals, businesses and local organizations, is coordinated by the Villages of Flossmoor, Park Forest, Homewood, Richton Park and Olympia Fields; Homewood-Flossmoor High School District 233, Rich Township High School District 227, Congresswoman Robin Kelly, League of Women Voters Homewood-Flossmoor Area, League of Women Voters Park Forest Area, Center for Multicultural Communities and the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI).
The dinners are free for both the dinner hosts and guests. Although there is no charge for the dinner, each guest and host must register to participate. All guests must be at least 14 years old and the guests should be willing to go to the home assigned.
Please plan to join other area residents on April 14th at the Diversity Dinners for a meaningful evening celebrating one of the priceless assets of the community.
