Ramadan Community Dinner 2018

_On behalf of the High Point Human Relations Commission [https://www.highpointnc.gov/1428/Human-Relations-Commission], we would like to invite you to our COMMUNITY RAMADAN DINNER ON WEDNESDAY, June 20th at the DEEP RIVER RECREATION CENTER, 1529 Skeet Club Rd., 6.30pm.  This event is sponsored by the Divan Center [http://www.divancenter.org/] and Community Mosque of High Point [https://www.facebook.com/Community-Mosque-Of-High-Point-196270413747718/]. This year the Human Relations Commission has the distinct honor to partner with them to host a community dinner marking the end of Ramadan to promote understanding, awareness and fellowship. Our goal is to deepen a sense of community in our international city across many cultures during this time of atonement and thanks. _  _Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking. Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, stay away from bad habits — essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. Such a Ramadan experience offers a great platform for members of our religious and cultural communities to engage in friendly table conversations and break bread together. _
