In the wake of Christchurch Mosque shootings, Lexington residents will stand in solidarity with our Muslim family and neighbors. Please join us for this important vigil and show of support for the Muslim community in Lexington. Please bring your families and children to the event, and please share this event with your friends, families, and neighbors in Lexington and beyond.
