Reservation date nears for Interfaith Breakfast

As the reservation deadline draws near, the Not In Our Town BG planning committee for the Bowling Green Community Interfaith Breakfast has released the final plans for this year’s event.

The program will be held on April 5 at the Junior Fair Building of the Wood County Fairgrounds. The theme is “Building Paths to Peace: Mythbusting,” and representatives from Buddhist, Jewish, Islam, Native American, Hindu and Christian traditions will speak. Additional presentations will be in the form of artwork on the theme of “peace” from Bowling Green City schoolchildren and music from both the Bowling Green High School Madrigals and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

South Side 6, a local food provider, will offer the breakfast as a gift to the community, with the meal served from 7:15-7:45 a.m. Welcoming comments will be offered by Mayor Richard Edwards, Bowling Green State University President Mary Ellen Mazey, and Bowling Green City Schools Superintendent Francis Scruci. A variety of donors have allowed the event to be free of charge.

Reservations are required by Friday, March 24 and can be made by contacting Alex Solis (Co-Chair of Not In Our Town BG) at asolis@bgsu.edu or calling 419-372-9452.
