Syria Supper Club, Oct. 20, supports refugee resettlement

September 23, 2018

By Janet Glass

In September of 2015, the disturbing photo below right went viral. It shows a young victim of the mass Syrian refugee crisis and the Turkish police officer who found him. Although the picture captured the attention of many, the crisis continues.

In January 2018, our Ethical Culture Society helped to support the resettlement efforts of Syrian refugees who made it to this country by participating in a program called the Syria Supper Club. Below is a photo of the spectacular food they prepared! After enjoying the meal, we had a chance to sit together and hear, in person, about their struggles.

Now we are ready to do it again! Please let Janet Glass, iguanaj@aol.com, know if you’d like to attend this fundraiser, in which all proceeds go to the United Tastes of America’s Syria Supper Club charity.

Cost: $50 per person
Date: Saturday, Oct. 20, 6 pm
Place: Ethical Culture Society meetinghouse
To reserve: Please mail a check to Linda Bennett at the Ethical Culture Society, 687 Larch Ave., Teaneck, NJ 07666 made out to the Ethical Culture Society with Syria Supper Club in the memo line.  Or you can bring a check or cash with you the evening of the dinner.
Please rsvp by Saturday, Oct. 6, so we can tell the cooks how much food we need. Thank you!

Janet Glass is a member and former president of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County.
