and bidding on items

Last year's dinner brought 180 volunteers, former refugees, staff, community board members, employers and new friends together. The event raised more than $8,000 for the local office.

Entertainment was provided by a group of Bhutanese singers and dancers. Milda Begovic, a former refugee from Bosnia, was our guest speaker.

More than 70 items were donated and auctioned off during our silent auction and raffle.

We expect 300 people to attend this year's event.
