Peace Islands Institute’s Hispanic Heritage Month Dinner’23

Last Friday, October 13th, Peace Islands Institute took the initiative to shine a spotlight on the rich tapestry of Hispanic culture, history, and contributions. With a lavish dinner event, we aimed to not only commemorate #HispanicHeritageMonth but also bridge communities, foster understanding, and create lasting bonds.

A Gathering of Distinguished Guests

It was a night to remember as we were graced with the presence of several esteemed individuals and organizations. Among our guests were:

• The NJ Civil Rights Commissioner, a beacon of justice and equality in New Jersey.
• The New Milford Councilman, representing the voice of New Milford residents.
• Representatives from Morris County Hispanic Affairs, advocates for the Hispanic community in Morris County.
• Eminent members from Habitat for Humanities, renowned for their dedication to building homes and hope.
• And, last but not least, the influential board members from the College of Art at Morris County, champions of artistic expression and education.

An Evening of Enlightening Conversations

As the night unfolded, guests engaged in enriching dialogues that highlighted the vibrancy of Hispanic history and culture. Conversations flowed seamlessly from the challenges faced by the Hispanic community to their unparalleled contributions to the American tapestry. The atmosphere was charged with energy, camaraderie, and mutual respect.

Building Bridges, One Conversation at a Time

While the event was centered around Hispanic Heritage, it also served as a broader platform for unity. The underlying message was unequivocal: fostering community relationships and understanding is paramount. As we wrapped up the eventful evening, a resonant thought stayed with all attendees – the path to a harmonious future lies in recognizing our shared histories, celebrating our unique stories, and coming together as a community.
