SAFE NIGHT

On Friday, June 3, 2005, 28 youths, 5 teens and 10 adults participated in a fun, interactive experience exploring Conflict Resolution Theatre skills and learning how to prepare healthy whole foods while sharing a meal.




	Group members learned and practiced the four steps to creatively resolve a conflict.



	Painting rice paper with flavored syrups was a hit. Even better—eating their tasty artwork.


	After eating some colorful vegetable sushi, all learned how to make their own and why they call it sticky rice. Some even tried the super-hot wasabi.


	CAPA High School and college students helped lead all the activities throughout this fun evening.
