You’re invited to DINNER WITH MAYADA AND FRIENDS!OUR FIRST 5
DINNERS WERE SOLD OUT !
WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO OFFER A DINNER ON June 25, 2017.
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.
Rutgers Church is donating the food, and 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 AND IS celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a
feast marking the end of Ramadan. Weather permitting, appetizers
will be served on our green roof before dinner. Guests are welcome to
bring their own beer or wine.
Please help us spread the word about this fundraising event.
