The ethnic destinations within Saint Paul's World Cultural Heritage District (WCHD) submitted a joint letter of support and commitment for the HUD Community Challenge Grant. The statement of collaboration and mutuality is consistent with the position of the WCHD, but this "public display" is really a very special and exciting occurrence!

We all appreciated Nancy Homans' and Cecile Bedore's invitation to participate; many thanks to ECTD member Ellen Muller for her help making the connections. We look forward to seeing the final version of the grant proposal; we'll try to post it when we do.

Keep your fingers crossed that the proposal is successful. It means that interculturalism can be advanced at a much faster pace along the Central Corridor so that we can all benefit sooner.

Thanks to sponsor SPNN, portions of the Ethnic Cultural Tourism Destinations Conference are airing on channel 19 at the times listed below. Included are the welcome by Saint Paul Deputy Mayor Paul Williams and the presentations by Romona Riscoe Benson and Charles Landry.
