A Benefit for Local Immigrants

7:30 pm to 10:30 pm
First Parish, 630 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington, MA
Come join your friends and neighbors for an evening of great music, dancing and comradery, while benefiting those seeking refuge in local communities.
The night will feature the highly danceable music of Stanley and the Undercovers playing classic rock from the ’60s and ’70s, as well as a range of international desserts. A cash bar will be available.
Have fun while helping reach the goal to raise $25,000 to support local immigrants and refugees. All funds from this benefit will be shared by the ArCS Cluster and the United Legal Defense Fund for Immigrants.
