The Annual Dinner is the only time during the year that EMO’s 127 members gather as one. The event embodies what is unique about EMO’s mission. It is a drawing together of members and friends—congregations, mosques, faith based organizations and synagogues from around our rugged state. If you are a member of EMO, or would like to learn more about our work, the Annual Dinner is an ideal time to network with others who share your values.
