I attended my first Multicultural Committee meeting this month at New Rainier Vista.  I had a great time!

There’s something special about a community coming together (with the help of translators speaking several different languages) to provide a way to get to know each other, problem-solve community issues together, and plan events/dinners together.

My favorite part was sitting back and taking in all the interesting people and languages being spoken, and also the part where one member of the community is interviewed about how they arrived at New Rainier Vista and their experiences.  This month, a woman from Somalia was interviewed.

Nice job to Tom and Naomi who have been organizing and facilitating these meetings, and to all my neighbors who attend and get to know each other.
