WISDOM International Dinner and Ethnic Heritage Festival

A Taste of WISDOM” will be our First Annual International Dinner and Ethnic Heritage Festival, to be held at North Congregational Church, 36520 W. 12 Mile Road in Farmington Hills on Sunday, October 18th at 5:00 PM. Our event will also be part of the Eighth Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days. The board members of WISDOM are very excited about this event!!



The fee for coming to the dinner is $5.00 per person with a maximum cost of $25.00 per family. We are asking you to come with a prepared dish from your family tradition to feed about 10 people and to bring with you a card listing the ingredients of that dish so that we can respect everyone’s food restrictions. We also request that you bring your own serving utensils.

There will be entertainment following the dinner that will include fun ethnic dance, music and song!! Additionally, we will be selling raffle tickets for the giving away of donated items. We hope that many of you will think about friends, family, and businesses who might be able to help support WISDOM’s future.



Please make your friends, family, and your places of worship aware of the upcoming fundraising event. Please get the word out about our fundraiser by telling folks about our invitation and registration form. If you would like us to deliver hard copies of the invitation/registration form to you or your place of worship, please let me know.

Thanks!! We are counting on your help to make this fundraiser a fabulous success. Please plan to come, bring your friends and family, and help with donations if possible.
