SUMMARY:February 25\, 2023 - UMOJA 20th Anniversary Gala
DESCRIPTION:20th ANNIVERSARY GALA: CELEBRATING TWENTY YEARS OF COMMUNITY IMPACT\n\n\n\nGiven unforeseen circumstances\, UMOJA's highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Gala has had to be postponed to February 25th\, 2023 at 6.00 pm. The event will still take place at the Civic Hotel\, 13475 Central Ave\, Surrey\, BC.\n\n\n\nWe do sincerely apologize to our many friends and community partners who had looked forward to joining us on the original date of October 22nd\, 2022 for this memorable evening of celebration and storytelling.\n\n\n\nUmoja has served new immigrants and refugees in the lower mainland since 2002. We effectively support new arrivals toward successful acculturation and mainstreaming into Canadian society.

Our annual galas bring together people of all backgrounds\, and your presence would make for an even more engaging occasion! We typically expect at least 100 attendees\, and this entertaining in-person event will include shared stories about Umoja's continuing impact.
