The 2nd annual dinner was for refugees forced from their homes for religious, political, or ethnic reasons. Most came to Grand Forks in the past year from Nepal. Up until now, they lived in refugee camps for 10 to 20 years.
Pastor Paul Trenne – St. Mark’s Lutheran Church: “We hope in doing this that we move from being strangers to neighbors and maybe even friends.”
