I visited one of those agencies. St. Anselms Immigrant and Refugee Community Center. on the occasion of their fourth anniversary open house. Not only are they providing the usual social services and English as a second language class. but they are making a positive impact on the community through improving refugeepolice relations. helping the schools to cope with the influx of nonEnglishspeaking students. and community crisis management. St. Anselms Immigrant and Refugee Community Center and the effective consortium of agencies providing service to refugees in Orange County are to be commended for their exemplary manner of handling a situation which in other places has not always been without a great deal of community tension.*
