What it is about
Join us for an evening of Strengthening the Fabric of our Community:
Our Keynote Speaker, Imam Ayman Soliman, was a Chaplain at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. When his Visa was revoked, he was held in a detention facility for 73 days. Imam Soliman will share his story of hope and determination.
An Artist Talk with George Harb & Mona Gonzala on their exhibit, "Ordinary Lives." This exhibit imagines Palestinian existence as an unbroken continuum—a lineage of care, memory, and everyday beauty that stretches from ancient ritual to the present moment. Across the gallery, Mona Gazala’s photographic works and George Harb’s intimate family archive come together to affirm that Palestinian life is shaped not solely by survival, but by an enduring inheritance of joy, dignity, and deep interior worlds.
We are looking forward to Josh Copeland of Learn2Cope introducing our 2nd annual Miami Valley Peace Maker Award nominations opening! He is always captivating…
