Here is a great opportunity for a group from our church to attend the Diversity Mixer being held at the Muslim Mosque in Reno. If you are interested in attending please email Evan Chan who would love to form a small group to go!
"Too often we define ourselves and others by a label: race, religion, culture, gender, disability, politics, age or something else. We're writing to invite your community organization to participate in a diversity mixer called "Ask Me Anything." This event will give your members a chance to interact with the neighbors they might not otherwise get to meet."
