Members felt that renters should only be eligible for one discount at a time.

We are planning the 1st Annual "Taste of Columbia Heights" along with a diversity forum, to be held on a Sunday afternoon in late March or early April. The event would bring several different ethnic restaurants along Central Ave into the Hall to provide sampling of their cuisine to the general public. At the same time, new immigrant families selected by Judy Yantos of School District 13 would tell their stories of why they left their native country, how they got here, why they ended up in Columbia Heights, etc. We will ask them to wear native clothing, show any artwork or cra~, and perhaps some of them could perform, as in a dance troupe or musical group. As Crestview is bringing nursing home workers here fi-om Liberia, they have asked also to participate. Our goal is to promote understanding and good will between all the different races that have ended up here in Columbia Heights, as well as to encourage residents to patronize restaurants in their own neighborhood that previously they may have been uncomfortable going into. We will hope for 100 guests, and commit ourselves to making this an annual celebration of our diversity. Thank you for )'our consideration, and I or Linda Magee will be available for any questions. We hope to see you all at this 1 st Annual Columbia Heights Diversity event!
