The Berkeley Heights Diversity Council (BHDC) invites you to join them at two upcoming events - The 2nd Annual Summit Area YMCA Pride Celebration this Friday, June 14 from 4-7 p.m. at the Park at Lower Columbia Middle School, and at the first “Coffee with a Cop” they are co-hosting with the Berkeley Heights Police Department (BHPD) on Saturday, June 22, from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. at the Berkeley Heights YMCA.
Please join the BHDC and the BHPD on Saturday, June 22nd from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. for the first “Coffee with a Cop” at the Berkeley Heights YMCA. Coffee with a Cop brings police officers and the community members they serve together - over coffee - to discuss issues and learn more about each other. It’s agenda free - no speeches or specific topics. Just informal conversations about what matters to community residents.
“The Diversity Council is excited to co-sponsor the first “Coffee with a Cop” in Berkeley Heights.” said BH Diversity Council Leadership Team member Damian Facey. “We continue to look for new ways to create comfortable spaces to bring our community together. This is a great opportunity for community members of all ages to get to know their local police officers.” Free donuts and coffee (maybe iced if it’s hot outside!) are always a great idea, so the BHDC hopes you will stop by and join us for a casual, informal coffee and chat.
