We are installing an exhibit at the New York Encounter. The exhibit will need $5,000 for materials and installation costs. If you are unfamiliar with the New York Encounter (www.newyorkencounter.org) it is an annual three-day cultural event in the heart of New York City, offering opportunities for education, dialogue, and friendship. The topic of our specific exhibit is “Why We Work. Daily Bread, Dynamic Times".

Economic and societal changes have led to increased questioning about the purpose of working. The “Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting” have been in the headlines and seem to indicate a dynamic time with new questions. In many ways, these times seem unprecedented, and yet in 1981, St. John Paul II wrote, “Work is one of these aspects, a perennial and fundamental one, one that is always relevant and constantly demands renewed attention and decisive witness.” In the exhibit, Why We Work, several witnesses highlight what is true and timeless in front of these new questions.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Paideia Inc. DBA New York Encounter, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.
