About this Event
Join us for a full-day learning event designed to support service providers working with Low German Mennonite (LGM) clients. This event offers an opportunity to deepen cultural understanding, strengthen relationships, and reduce barriers in providing essential services to LGM clients.
The day will feature practical insights from local service providers, personal stories shared by individuals from the LGM community, and interactive Q&A sessions.
Included with your ticket: a light breakfast of muffins coffee and tea, lunch featuring perogies and sausage with a side salad, and a traditional afternoon faspa with authentic baked goods, meats, and cheeses. Please note that we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend and take part in this meaningful conversation about bridging cultures and improving access to care.
We invite you to bring any resources that may be beneficial for fellow service providers attending the event. A designated resource table will be available for sharing materials.
