DESCRIPTION:As we mark World Refugee Day, an international day to honor refugees, we 
 invite you to celebrate the strength and courage of all those forced to 
 flee their homes in Ukraine since \nthe start of the Russian invasion in 
 February. \n\nDate & time: Tue, Jun 21 / 12:30 pm PDT (doors open at 
 noon)\n\nIn-person: $10 members & $20 nonmembers\n\nOnline: $5 members & 
 $10 nonmembers\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-06-21/helping-ukraines-refugees\n\n\nMultiple 
 organizations and individuals are lending their support to the estimated 
 6.8 million refugees from Ukraine who have fled to Poland, Romania and 
 throughout the European Union. In addition, there are an estimated 8 
 million people displaced within the country, all of whom are seeking 
 shelter and safety. \n\nAfter more than three months of war, this refugee 
 crisis continues unabated, and even if a peace agreement were signed 
 tomorrow, this conflict-driven mass migration will continue to impact 
 millions, not only in Europe but also around the globe.  \n\nHow can we 
 plan to support the Ukrainian community throughout the crisis and after the 
 war ends as they return, resettle and rebuild?\n\nJoin this conversation 
 with leaders from two of the many organizations working with displaced 
 Ukrainian families and learn firsthand about the situation today facing 
 refugees from the war in Ukraine. \n\nOstap Korkuna is co-chairman of Nova 
 Ukraine, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid 
 to the people of Ukraine and raising awareness about Ukraine in the United 
 States as well as in the rest of the world. \n\nJoy Sisisky is interim CEO 
 of the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund here in the Bay Area. 
 She recently spent time traveling to the border between Ukraine and Poland 
 to stand witness at this monumental time in history, provide relief, and 
 welcome Ukrainian Jewish families at the start of their very long 
 journeys.\n\nWhat is being done to assist the mostly women and children 
 forced to flee their homes, and what can you do to help? \n\n\nSafety 
 Protocols for in-person attendance:\n\n• We follow best practices laid 
 out by the CDC and state and local guidelines.\n• All guests, staff, and
