Friend --

Our 2020 kicked off with a meal pack for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, and a conversation with journalist Joyce Karam. We are excited to continue the Arab American Generations series with a speed networking event! We are delighted to partner with NAAP-DC for an evening of connection and community building at The Green Zone, one of Washington, DC's most popular establishments. 

When we asked The Green Zone founder Chris Hassaan Francke about his greatest accomplishment for our #IAmArabAmerican profiles, he told us,

"Dhiyaafa is one of the defining features of Arab culture and I’d venture to say its best one, but our legendary hospitality is not so widely known in the West.... I want everyone to feel as if they’ve come to my house and received the full Arab treatment, with generosity, friendliness, and making everyone feel special and honored. As the Arabic saying goes, "nawwarit il beit," and that’s how I want everyone to feel." 

What?   Speed Networking

When?  Wednesday, February 19, 2020
