Roswell Reads Presents: What's It All About? Refugee Resettlement Agencies and Their Work

Our Roswell Reads programming season kicks off tonight, Feb. 8th, at 7:00 p.m. Join us for an informative discussion presented by Paedia Mixon of Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta (RRISA).

What better time than this, considering the tragic earthquakes in Haiti, to learn what's involved in placing refugees into new homes.  Some Haitans will move to other countries around the world, including the U.S.

You'll also learn what the soccer team members in Outcasts United... have gone through and you'll come away with a better understanding of their lives.
