Our friends who run the Glendale Human Relations Coalition -- a California nonprofit corporation and an IRS recognized charity -- are hosting a community barbecue celebration to support local youth programs on Saturday, September 20, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Pacific Community Center, 501 S. Pacific Ave. in Glendale, CA 91204. In the picnic shelter area between the baseball diamond and the soccer field, they will serve hot dog and hamburger meals for $5 per person. They will also have fun games for kids, music and dancing -- and prizes.
Quoting the GHRC’s mission statement, the organization “understands, appreciates and respects the value of our city’s diversity. Together we work vigorously to promote community harmony, provide a united response to hate crimes and speak out against prejudice and discrimination."
Jim Nasella, who leads the GHRC, has been a Montrose Peace Vigil stalwart since 2009. He's also a board member of the local chapter of the ACLU and one of the Glendale Education/Social Justice Advocates. For more information about Saturday's event, you can reach Jim at (818) 241-3828.
