Cultural Heritage Party
Come celebrate your heritage with us! We come from many backgrounds through adoption and birth. This is an opportunity to teach our children about those traditions and for them to feel a sense of pride in their heritage. It’s also fun for children as well as adults to explore and taste the richness of other cultures. Bring a dish to share from your heritage, your child’s heritage, or both! Drinks will be supplied by CPFA. FREE to CPFA members. $10.00 per family for non-members. Click here to download the poster .
