You, your friends and family are invited to
watch a FREE film called "Welcome To Shelbyville" followed by a discussion
about how our communities are changing and becoming more diverse. This film
tells the story of a small, rural town in Tennessee whose residents are faced
with challenges, fears and uncertainty about immigrant and refugee newcomers who
have moved to their town. Our local communities in NW Iowa are faced with these
same issues and this is an opportunity to talk about them as a community.
The film and community discussion will be
held in several locations:
Monday, April 23rd, Sheldon, 12:30-2pm,
NWICC Dining Room, Bldg A
Monday, April 23rd, Sioux
Center, 7-8:30pm, TePaske Theatre, High School (discussion led by Pastor John
Lee, Bethel CRC)
Tuesday, April 24th, Orange City, 7:30-9pm,
Northwestern College, Vermeer Dining Room
This film and community discussion is
co-sponsored by CASA, Northwestern College, Enlaces En Cristo, NW Iowa Community
College and the Iowa Immigration Education Coalition and is part of the
"Welcoming Iowa" project. |
