If you&#8217;ll be at the Summer Fest tomorrow at the Bear Creek masjid, look for Light of Islam&#8217;s table.  The carnival starts at noon and Light of Islam will be there till around 4:00.  Money raised at the carnival goes toward construction of the masjid, so it&#8217;s a good cause and fun too!
