7th Annual Intercultural Dinner & Talent Show
On November 18, 2022, from 6 to 9 pm, the PTC and the CommunIDEE subcommittee will be hosting the 7th Annual Intercultural Dinner and Talent Show. In the past, this beloved event drew over 400 people from our community! Our families cook homemade dishes from around the world - from the U.S. to Tibet and everywhere in between. Due to the scale of the event, we're in need of many volunteers as possible to contribute their time, food, and talent!
Our Ask:
1. Mark your calendar and look out for upcoming emails, which will include FAQs, forms to contribute food, and a Volunteer SignUp Genius.
2. Consider what dish(es) you want to bring. We want anything and everything you would like to share, even if it is not part of your ethnic origin.
3. Our Talent Show showcases our extraordinarily talented children. Please think about talent acts that can include as many children as possible. An email regarding acts is forthcoming.
4. TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS
