The February series of snowstorms and blizzards forced us to reschedule our Black History Breakfast to March 17th.  We'll celebrate it in grand style with a touch of Irish since it's also St. Patrick's Day!!

Dear Valued Supporter of the Multicultural Symposium Series


The Black History Breakfast featuring REV. KARLA COOPER is here! Rev. Cooper is an international theologian who pastors Quinn Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Lincoln, Nebraska. She is also a Chaplain and teaches on the staff of Doane College in Crete, Nebraska and is an advocate within her LGBTQ community.  


In 2003, while a graduate student completing a required global field study project in India, Rev. Cooper build a friendship with fellow graduate student Rev. Sarah Peddiny in Chennai, India.  The relationship with Rev. Cooper and Rev. Sarah and Rev. Abraham Peddiny (husband and wife) led to 20 small churches in India affiliating with the connectional AME Church in 2008.  Now there are 105 churches in one of the fastest growing regions in the world.
 

We will look forward to seeing you on Tuesday March 17, 2015.
Location: The Colonnade Boston Hotel • 120 Huntington Avenue • Boston, Massachusetts 02116
Time: 8:30 am to 10:30 am. Networking starts at 7:30 am.


SEE DIRECTIONS TO THE HOTEL BELOW.

What About Special Parking Rates??

So very sorry that there isn’t a special rate for parking.  It is estimated at $28-$30 for parking at the Colonnade Boston Hotel.  There are nearby lots that are probably cheaper one…including possible the Prudential Center across the street.  Not certain…but just estimating.  There is also a garage next to the Back Bay T Station that you might also want to consider.  It’s opposite the Westin Copley Hotel.


Public Transportation is strongly recommended.
