On Sunday, November 17th. at 2 pm, Missouri Senior America Queens association invites you to a Syrian Welcome Neighbor STL Lunch to support immigrant and refugee families in St. Louis. Enjoy food, conversation, and catching up with friends – old and new. From cultural exchange to just plain fun, look forward to a great evening.
