Saturday, May 14, 2016, the recent graduates of CoFiA’s OSHA program are invited to attend a graduation celebration at the home of Carmita Sanchez-Fong, 205 Grand Avenue, in Leonia. Graduates will receive their official cards certifying that they successfully completed the 2016 training program. These cards are very important for workers, letting employers and other workers know that they are eligible for protection if they are injured on the job. CoFiA members and friends are honored to participate in this exciting event. A light supper will be served, and the event will begin at 4:30 p.m. All are welcome–if you would like to participate please send an email to marbwhite@aol.com or to info@communityoffriendsinaction.org.
Another opportunity for celebration is offered by CoFiA member Pastor Janet Blair, at her church, Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 941 Slocum Avenue, in Ridgefield. The event is a multicultural service at 4:30 p.m. and will be presented in Korean, Spanish, and English, and all are welcome. To RSVP please contact Pastor Blair at blairjem@cs.com. CoFiA has a special relationship with the church not only because Pastor Blair is a member of the CoFiA Board, but also because we have been invited to use the church several times for beginning and advanced OSHA training programs.
