2016 Friendship Luncheon
 Celebrating Uncommon Friendships:
A Conversation with The Higher Ground Group
Wednesday, November 2, 2016
TWELVE Hotel Ballroom at Atlantic Station
​

ICI's  Sold-Out Celebration of
Uncommon Friendships: 
A Huge Success.
An amazing crowd of faith and community leaders attended the 2016 Friendship Luncheon.  We are deeply grateful for:

• Everyone who came connected with  old friends and made new ones 
• Our sponsors and supporters who show faith in our work to make greater Atlanta a better place to live
• The planning committee, TWELVE Hotel staff, and event volunteers who put together an extraordinary luncheon
• And to The Higher Ground Group who reminded us all that to be our best selves we need listen to others, that we make our community stronger by recognizing and celebrating our diversity, and that when we address our society's common problems together, the angels in us come forth.

Thank you Rev. Joanna Adams, Imam Plemon El-Amin, Rabbi Alvin Sugarman and Alicia Philipp for encouraging us to
​"BE A BLESSING."
