Let’s not allow hate to get the best of us. We urge you to join with us in support of people of all nations, ethnicities, colors and creeds.
A few days ago an African American family member pulled out of the driveway and discovered a hangman’s noose tied to their tree. The family has lived over 25 years in this community and found the discovery shocking and unsettling. The community feels the same way.
The discovery received news courage on several TV channels and appeared on social media. In the wake of so much racial unrest and the present state of our union, we feel compelled to support the family and use this event to heal our community.
Please download the attached flyer and join us on Saturday, September 12, at 11:00 am for a unity caravan. Make your own poster and bring the family. More instructions will be given there. Let’s make it a great day!
