We hope that you enjoyed the 2011 We Are Boston Gala. Nearly one thousand friends and supporters, from diverse communities, came together to recognize the remarkable and diverse talents that have made immigrants so integral to the fabric of our city.

Your generosity helps to support 25 English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs that serve over 1,000 adult immigrants across the city, as well as the New Bostonians Summit Initiative that addresses the three key challenges identified by our immigrant communities: ESOL, Jobs, and K-12 Education.

If you would like to share with us any valuable feedback you may have on the 2011 We Are Boston Gala or should you like to be involved in the planning of the 2012 We Are Boston, please do not hesitate to contact the Mayor’s Office of New Bostonians.

Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season.
