Postcard Peace Event Planned for Minnesota Islamic Center

TEHRAN (IQNA) – A “Postcards for Peace” will be held at the Cole Library on the Cornell College campus in Iowa on Aug. 15 in solidarity with a Minnesota Islamic center.

 

Participants will write messages of solidarity and love for members of the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minnesota, which fell victim to a bombing on Saturday, Aug. 5, 2017.

It is an event for anyone in the Mount Vernon area, including Cornell students, faculty, staff, and community members.

Participants can stop by to fill out a postcard anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The Cornell Chaplain & Spiritual Life Office will supply postage and will mail all of the postcards at the end of the event.

Cornell’s event will be held in conjunction with a postcard event organized by the Inter-Religious Council at Via Sofia’s Italian Kitchen in Cedar Rapids.
