Refugee Resettlement in Laconia, July 18
July 6, 2016In this roundtable presentation, Carol Pierce, director of the Laconia Human Relations Committee, will help attendees understand the process of refugee resettlement in Laconia. She’ll share stories of those refugees who recently arrived and the settlement process that takes place.
The event is scheduled for Monday, July 18 at 6:30 p.m. in Taylor Community’s Woodside Building. It is free and open to the public but reservations are requested by calling 524-5600.
For several years Carol served as the Chair of the City of Laconia’s Human Relations Committee. She now chairs the Refugee Connections Committee.

Several groups have resettled in Laconia, most under the auspices of Lutheran Social Services.
