Tour of the Islamic Center

A lot of you drive by the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati up there off I-75 and have wondered what it's about. Even if you don't drive by, I'm sure you've wondered what it must be like to be Muslim in America. Well I have been curious too, so Wanderlust has secured our own private tour of the facility Wednesday evening, November 18th at 6:30pm. The Center, who's members come from all over the world, is very open and welcoming to visitors and I would really like to encourage everyone to attend. Kids? Bring 'em!!! Grandparents? Bring 'em!! Spouse? Niece? Nephew? Aunt? Uncle? You get the idea! BRING' EM! Just please note how many on your RSVP. Please allow 1.5 hours for the tour. Directly following the tour we will be meeting up at Starbucks for a warm drink and good conversation.
