WOMEN WITH WINGS

Thank you to all the groups and individuals for your displays and participation. Thank you the Governor and the fine staff of the Capitol.  Thank you to Inroads Ministry and the Greater Madison Inter-religious Association.

 

Thank you to IAW-12 Coordinating Committee: Amit Mangar, Anne Wynne, Alice Pauser, Christopher River-Paprock, Ken-Adi Ring, Selena Fox,  Teresa Paprock, Dialogue International, Gurdip Brar, Rev John-Brian Paprock, and all those who advised the committee throughout the year.

 

In addition, to the displays sponsored and installed by local groups, we acknowledge the “Holiday Tree;” the Freedom from Religion Foundation Solstice declaration; the Dane County Evangelicals Jesus declaration and the Hanukkah Menorah (which was discontinued last year, but may return under different leadership at the this week) that inspire and complement the intent and purpose of Interfaith Awareness Week.
