The Orange County Human Relations Commission and Office of Equity & Inclusion are co-sponsoring the 24th Annual Mildred Council Community Dinner was held Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 1:00 PM in the McDougle Middle School Cafeteria, 900 Old Fayetteville Rd. in Chapel Hill, NC.
The Community Dinner is a community building event, crossing economic, racial, religious and ethnic barriers and presenting a wealth of wonderful, culturally diverse food and entertainment from our own community. In 2014, The Community Dinner was a winner of a National League of Cities Award for Cultural Diversity.
Mildred Council, aka "Mama Dip," was the creator of this event and our source of inspiration and partner for 21 Community Dinners, celebrating our community's cultural diversity. She is sorely missed by all who knew her, and continues her legacy through her children and grandchildren.
Mildred Council's family at Mama Dip's Kitchen coordinated the menu and, along with the Carolina Inn, provide the Dinner's main courses. We are very pleased that the Council family want to keep their association with this event which was so important to their mother, Mama Dip. In addition, many local restaurants and churches donated side dishes and desserts to complete the feast. This gave attendees the opportunity to taste food from our many community partners who contributed dishes, all in one place.
