Thanks in advance! Offering Our Plate (Living Generously) Share the Plate recipient for December 16 and December 30: Holocaust Memorial Observance. Anti-Semitic Incidents surged nearly 60% in 2017 from 2016. Because of this increase in hate, it is more important than ever that The Holocaust Memorial Observance be provided to our community. This week long annual event reminds us and teaches our youth about this horrific event that wiped out an entire generation of human beings throughout Europe. Your donations help bring and house a survivor to Greeley, provide books to youth, provide teacher education, pay for musicians, films, venues, brochures, advertising etc. It is the hope of the Holocaust Memorial Observances Committee of Greeley & Northern Colorado that the values these programs instill across the age spectrum, diverse religious groups, give members of our community the courage, where it might otherwise be lacking, to counteract hate, bigotry, and prejudice whenever and wherever they encounter it. .**Now that the nomination process has begun, we hope members will consider making a nomination. Using our plate in this way will help us to grow of spiritual practice, live more meaningfully, and help heal our world. Look for the colorful box that Sharlene Meydel decorated in the Foyer to make your suggestion!
