NIOT celebrates 6th anniversary
Not In Our Town Bowling Green (NIOT), a collaborative effort between Bowling Green State University and
the City of Bowling Green, will be celebrating its 6th anniversary on Thursday from 5-7 p.m. at the Wood
County District Public Library in the Meeting Room. People can attend anytime between those time frames.
At 5:30 p.m. Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards and BGSU President Rodney Rogers will provide remarks.
Attend to interact with friends and neighbors, reflect on past events and initiatives that NIOT had
supported and share thoughts about NIOT’s future endeavors. Cake and ice cream will be served to
celebrate.
NIOT was created, in 2013, to champion diversity and advance the mission of guiding and inspiring people
and the community to work together to stop hate and build safe, inclusive environments for all. This
movement exists to address acts of intolerance and discrimination.
Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and clean-up; contact Emily at [email protected] to help.
