Worcester, MA (June 16, 2015) - The City of Worcester announced today a change of venues for the last three sessions of the seven-week Community Dialogues on Race series in response to participants' requests for more space and better acoustics.
The times of the meetings are unchanged. The remaining sessions will take place on the following Mondays from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM. A meal will be provided from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM:
On June 22nd and 29th, the WRTA will provide a free shuttle bus from the bus stop shelter on Belmont Street (at the intersection of Skyline Drive) to the front entrance of the high school. Riders can pick up the shuttle bus between 5:15 PM and 6:15 PM. The shuttle will return passengers to the Belmont Street shelter between 8:15 PM and 9:15 PM. The word "Shuttle" will appear on the banner on the front of the bus.
The purpose of these sessions is to provide the community with an opportunity to exchange information face to face, share personal stories and experiences, honestly express perspectives, clarify viewpoints and develop solutions to community concerns related to our increasingly diverse city. More information is available on the City's website.
The series has been organized by the City Manager's Community Coalition Against Bias & Hate in collaboration with many groups, institutions and organizations throughout Worcester.
