Words can’t truly express the gratitude for this Golden Rule Awards Banquet! It stirred hearts and we’ve heard so many positive, heart-felt words of thanks that we deeply appreciate.

Meet our Council team HERE on our website

 

On behalf of AZIFM’s Interfaith Council, we send our sincere thanks to everyone who helped make it so inspiring and uplifting. The Honorees and their Golden Rule examples, the youth prayers who also shared the Golden Rule from their faith tradition, the music, everyone who attended, the many volunteers, Faith Fair participants … and so much more! Thank you.
