On the morning of August 6th, 2012 the local Mosque in Joplin, MO was burned down. We are determined to show that love is stronger than fear or hatred. In an effort to support our neighbors, we’ve created this event. We have decided to make the gathering free to the public to encourage a better turnout and bring more people together! Since the goal is unity, we want to come together for a meal. We are encouraging everyone attending to pack for a picnic - with a blanket and food and come out to Landreth to
celebrate the power of love and diversity. We invite you to make cultural food and to share with your friends as we have a picnic at the park. There will be opportunities to support our community in a variety of ways including: artwork, writing on a love banner which will be for Islamic Society, giving to the Islamic Society, or simply coming to meet someone you didn’t know before! All in all, this is about paying it forward: giving love before hate crimes can be committed. A variety of local bands including Axios, Adam Francis, DJ services by Old School Sound Machine and more will be performing as we come together. Lets unite as neighbors promoting the power of LOVE!
