Our Mission:
"In
harmony with our City's vision, DeSoto Dining and Dialogue arranges
for DeSoto residents of different races and ethnic backgrounds to
have dinner and conversations in a non-threatening environment so
that they can connect across America's cultural divide."
DeSoto Dining and Dialogue is a group of
volunteer DeSoto citizens seeking to improve the quality of life in
DeSoto by arranging culturally diverse dinners that promote harmony,
understanding, and community among DeSoto’s citizens – a
state we believe to be essential for a dynamic and thriving city.
The dinners are intended to:
| • |
Build open lines of communication among a diverse
base of DeSoto citizens. |
| • |
Inform participants about the perspectives held
by others in the community |
| • |
Encourage a deeper understanding of and a greater
participation in issues of mutual concern |
DeSoto Dining and Dialogue dinner events are hosted periodically in private homes
or restaurants with each dinner attended by guests of diverse
backgrounds. Guests are discouraged from focusing on politics.
Rather, the dinners are designed to encourage cross-cultural communications
and common community purpose.
