The Social Justice Advisory Group presents Shirley Yang: Hmong Heritage through Food

Sunday, April 18 at 1:00 pm at the Mary Park Bandshell Pavillion

Registration Required - Please register by Wednesday, April 14

Join us as we celebrate and bring awareness to Hmong Heritage this month. Shirley Yang, a Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts trained caterer and personal chef, will offer an outdoor cooking demonstration of larb, the unofficial national dish of Laos. A small tasting of the dish will be provided, and she will share stories about Hmong food and farming. Afterwards, participants can plant seeds of the herbs used in Yang’s larb recipe.

The mission of the Friday Memorial Library Social Justice Advisory Group is to engage community members through education and conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. By using the power of stories, the group aims to broaden perspectives, defuse fears, and build trust so that our community provides a strong, vibrant, and welcoming space for current and future generations. Friday Memorial Library acknowledges its duty in promoting citizenship and literacy and believes that creating a welcoming environment is essential in sustaining a healthy and thriving community.

Community Connections with Crowning Achievements

Virtual Programming

Tuesday, April 20 at 6:00 pm on our Facebook Page

Each month, we sit down for a virtual chat with a different community organization. We learn more about how they support the community and how our community can support them. This month we're talking to Crowning Achievements. Crowning Achievements is a non-profit serving men and women, over 16 in the St. Croix Valley Area of Minnesota and Wisconsin, with special needs. They host fun events each month within our communities to foster awareness and acceptance of their participants, as well as to promote their social circle and skills. All of this they do in hopes of increasing their integration in society as well as advancing and increasing their employment opportunities.
