A Taste of Evergreen is back!
Join us July 26, 11:00 a.m., at Panther Lake Community Church for this vibrant celebration, sponsored by the Evergreen Intercultural Committee. We’re excited to experience the rich diversity our caucuses will bring—both at the table and in community.
This event is ticketed, with a suggested donation of $20 for each ticket for teens and adults and $10 per ticket for children 12 and under.
Funds raised by this event will go to support the Translator’s Fund, which we use to hire translators for members of our community for whom English is not their primary language.
