They also participated in local cultural events such as Pacific Rogers and Park Fest interfaith community festivals.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“To begin to use cultural forces for the good of our daughters we must first shake ourselves awake from the cultural trance we all live in. This is no small matter, to untangle our true beliefs from what we have been taught to believe about who and what girls and women are.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
