Farrelli's Cinema Supper Club, one of the Valley's most unique restaurant and event sites, is hosting a Summer Cultural Dinner Series at their Scottsdale venue to benefit The Welcome to America Project.
"This organization helps refugees from war torn countries get settled into a safe life with an apartment, furniture, clothes and food," says owner Wendy Farrelli. "Some of these kids have been in refugee camps all of their lives."
"We would like to extend our congratulations to their executive director, Carolyn Manning, who was just awarded the 2009 CNN Hero Award," adds Farrelli. "This wonderful, local, grass roots organization needs and deserves our support."
The three Cultural Dinner Series for The Welcome to America Project will be held June 28, July 26 and August 23.
The first of these educational fundraisers will be "One Night in Bhutan" and will feature a buffet of cuisine from that region. That will follow with the premiere of the internationally acclaimed new short film "Nationless" by filmmaker Carly Campo, which follows Bhutanese refugees as they chart a new life here in Phoenix.
Learn about this beautiful, mysterious, and troubled country and its refugee crisis of the last 15 years. Enjoy exotic flavors as you hear firsthand the plight and rich stories of Bhutanese refugees beginning new lives here in Phoenix.
What: Dinner, drinks, cultural presentations and stories
When: Sunday, June 28th, 4:00pm - 7:00pm
