There will be a lunch-and-learn event at Palma Ceia on January 21st from noon until 2/2:30pm. This will be an opportunity to learn about the refugee situation in the Tampa Bay area as well as to learn about ways to get involved. There will be breakout sessions, one for individuals and one for churches. Janet Blair from DCF will be leading the event.
If you’re planning on joining us, or members of your congregation are, please give Will Wellman (will@palmaceia.org) a rough estimate of numbers so we can have enough food.
Also, this is the DCF website with current statistics for 2016. A great book to read to get an idea of the human stories of being a refugee and working with refugees is Mary Pipher’s The Middle of Everywhere.
If you have any questions at all please feel free to email Will.
