Join "Traditions & Treasures," a monthly gathering where members share personal stories, traditions, crafts, and cultural treasures from their heritage. Through show-and-tell and interactive presentations, we celebrate diversity, spark curiosity, and deepen appreciation for our international community.
Please join us for an afternoon at a “Middle Eastern bazaar” where you can find an assortment of handmade goods and clothing, in this case abayas made in Lebanon and Syria (which used to be one country pre-20th century). The abaya is a long caftan-like robe. They can be light-weight for summer and worn at home for comfort or they can be of heavier fabric and very fancy and worn at parties and on special occasions.
What: ”Abayas: Traditional Attire for Home and More” by MaryAnn Fadae
When: Wednesday, May 20 at 1:00-3:00pm

RSVP: Space is limited, so please confirm your attendance by RSVP to Motoko Kataoka by Friday, May 15.
You are welcome to bring refreshments to share, though it is entirely optional.
