This year\, the event falls at a time when CWS Lancaster is facing unprecedented challenges due to funding and policy changes impacting their core work of resettlement\, integration\, legal services\, and advocacy. As a result\, local musicians will join the lineup this year for a benefit concert to support CWS Lancaster’s critical work for the community and to “Welcome” our global neighbors.\n\nIn the Regitz Gallery\, a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. will celebrate the opening of a new exhibit featuring the PA Migrant Education mural project. In the Lyet Lobby\, the exhibit “Humanity at War” by Leesha Epler will be on display.
