Maple Road (at the intersection of Drake and Maple). Please let Sheri Schiff know if you are planning on attending the reception by emailing her at Sheri1228@yahoo.com, as Sheri will be planning the refreshments. Following the reception, Bruce Feiler is scheduled to talk about his latest book, and WISDOM will be introducing him to the audience starting at 5:00 PM. We hope to see you at both the 3:30 PM dessert reception and the 5:00 PM presentation.


2) Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM at The Community House in Birmingham (380 South Bates Street), WISDOM will be sponsoring “Five Women, Five Journeys, How Different Are We?” as part of the Race Relations & Diversity Task Force. A panel of women from different faith traditions – Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Baha’I, and Hindu – will reflect on the changing roles and expectations of women and discuss their own personal journeys. Are they the same journey?
