Community Happenings

Support 2399 Eagle Project at LGIC

My name is Noor Aldimassi, and I am a scout from Troop 2399 working towards my Eagle Project at LGIC. My project aims to enhance the front yard of the Masjid, including building a "Free Little Library" and a brick pony/knee wall with a lit logo of the West Valley Muslim Association (WVMA). Your support will not only benefit LGIC and my project but also serve as a communal invitation (Da'wah). The library will help connect neighbors and strengthen our community relationships, transforming the dirt lawn into a welcoming space. Thank you for your support!
