Each of these friendship dinner programs is a very unique and special opportunity for distinguished guests to learn about other cultural and faith communities. Congressman Joe Sestak and President of Marywood University, Sister Anne Munley, are expected to give speeches. We are anticipating several other elected officials including State Senator Leanna Washington, State Representatives Tony J. Payton, Jr. and Vanessa Lowery Brown, and City Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. to attend this event. District coordinator of Senator Casey, District Coordinator of Congressman Brady, Chief Inspector James Tiano, and Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers will also join us for this event. Last year, the 5th Friendship and Dialogue Dinner event brought together 15 organizations, as well as people from legislative and administrative body of Greater Philadelphia that actively engage in interfaith or intercultural dialogue. If you are interested in attending or getting more information about the event, please feel free to contact me.
