What? Our goal is to promote understanding and harmony by bringing together people of different races and ethnic backgrounds in a social setting where they can share their thoughts, experiences and questions about culture and race.

How? Eight to ten people gather for dinner in host homes and are invited to talk and to listen to each other about how racial and cultural differences impact their lives. A trained facilitator paces the evening and ensures that everyone has an opportunity to share as they wish.

Why? We recognize that lack of knowledge and appreciation of others' races, culture and customs contributes to intolerance and bigotry. We believe that understaning can lead to greater respect for others and help to eliminate prejudice.

When? Register between September 1 and October 3, 2011, for the next Omaha Table Talk dinner, to be held Thursday, October 20, 2011.

Participants will be contacted by October 9th with details: Host will receive guests and facilitator list, guests will receive location of host home or community sites and directions. Facilitators should have their orientation date and guest list.

If you have any questions, contact A'Jamal Byndon at office 561-7594 or cell phone 980-9095.
