Members of the Allen Lima Leadership adult and youth classes got the opportunity to take part in their own diversity day program. Toni Bell, the keynote speaker of the event, led the daylong program called “Diversity is a Fact of Life.” There were different activities and discussions that opened up people’s minds and got them thinking about the issues we have surrounding diversity in our society.

Diversity - the condition of having or being composed of differing elements such as the inclusion of different types of people, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. That lesson being learned by the youth and adult members of the Allen Lima Leadership classes on Friday.

Local leaders learned a little more about diversity and how it can help advance the community.
