Astoria Residents: You Are Invited To Join A Community Conversation About…
~ Meeting one another across lines of faith, culture, country of origin and other lines of difference
~ Learning and building collective strength as neighbors
~ Making Astoria the kind of place that reflects values of welcome, friendship, and collaboration
DATE: Thursday, May 31
TIME: 6:00 pm
LOCATION: Catholic Charities Brooklyn & Queens, 23-40 Astoria Blvd., Astoria, NY 11102.
This conversation began in November 2011 as part of city-wide discussions during the tenth anniversary of 9/11 that brought New Yorkers together to remember how strong we are when we connect: in shared service, through sharing our faiths and our traditions, in shared action on behalf of a shared community.
At the November conversation a vision emerged of a Welcoming Astoria, and an Astoria in which neighbors work together to make Astoria a welcoming community for all, whether they have lived in the community for generations or they have just recently moved into the neighborhood. The Interfaith Center of New York then received funding from the New York Community Trust to help the conversation continue.
Come join us on April 26 where we continue the conversation and create an action plan for how we can make Astoria a welcome home for everyone.
