Mayada and Friends Fundraising Dinner
Event Information
Description
APRIL 22nd DINNER IS SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear friends and neighbors,
We are happy to announce that Mayada, a Syrian refugee who arrived in the U.S. with her husband and four children in March 2016 co-sponsored by Rutgers Presbyterian Church and Church World Service, will be cooking and serving dinner for about 60 guests at Rutgers. We got the idea from an article in the New York Times about similar dinners in Berlin.
Dinner will be $50 for adults and $25 for children under 16; ALL proceeds will go directly to Mayada and help her support her family. Several church members and neighbors will be volunteering their help to Mayada in the kitchen and dining room.
The dinner will be held in our Fellowship Hall, on the 5th floor of our Church House located at 236 West 73rd Street, just west of Broadway. Dinner will be at 6 pm.Guests are welcome to bring their own beer or wine.
Please help us spread the word about this fundraising event.
