Dec 20: Speed Friending: Celebrating 20 Years of DAT
6:30-8:00pm, at Craig High School, 401 S Randall Ave., South Entrance #37, Janesville, WI
Meet new and old friends in our community in an interactive speed friending activity. Enjoy cake, snacks and coffee while sharing some stories and observations of change over the last 20 years of Diversity Action Team of Rock County.
DAT’s monthly programs focus on diverse topics and they have provided me with new information and often different perspectives. Hearing other peoples’ experiences lessens fear of the unknown. DAT creates avenues of knowledge and action! It honors respect for all peoples. The people I have met through DAT continue to give me hope!

Growing up in Janesville, there was very little opportunity to become friends with others of a diverse background. In my 80’s I decided to make a concerted effort to join DAT and meet new and interesting friends. The experience has been very rewarding. I thank the group for this wonderful opportunity to expand my understanding of the joys and concerns of the new, more diverse population of Janesville. Mary Baban-Ramsdell
Being involved in DAT for 20 years has been a blessing for me as it has opened my eyes and mind to appreciating different cultures and other’s perspectives. We are never to old to learn and make new friendships.

As a relative newcomer to DAT, I have been excited to find a group of spirited, active, committed individuals who are concerned about equal acceptance and treatment for everyone, no matter what race, ethnic group, economic status, religion, sex, political party, etc. DAT helps to keep me informed about ways I can stand up and exemplify what I believe are important issues in living a good life for myself and helping others as I can.
