In light of what is happening in Lebanon and in support of the Lebanese people, who are demanding a more dignified life that guarantees their rights, the Moncton Lebanese Association invites all those interested to come join us on Sunday, October 20 at 11:30 a.m. at Moncton City Hall to stand peacefully alongside the people of Lebanon.
Please come in numbers to show our support from New Brunswick, as
this is an issue that affects us all inside and outside Lebanon.
Hope to see everyone there.
