It is one of the activities the center is holding this year as part of a celebration of its half century of service in the Greater Lansing area. \nThis event will feature the popular local band Jackalope\, and a special guest appearance by Julia Ward Howe herself! \nSaturday\, May 6 at 7 PM\nAllen Neighborhood Center\n1611 E Kalamazoo St\, Lansing \nSnacks will be offered. Everyone is welcome! If you’d like to donate to this PEC fundraiser\, the suggested amount is $25. Payable at the door or online HERE. \nSUPPORT PEC!\nBring your mom\, a friend\, or anyone who would enjoy a night of music and fun! \n\nFor more than 50 years\, the Peace Education Center has worked for peace and justice\, its roots taking hold in the late 1960s with opposition to the Vietnam War. Since then it has protested wars in Iraq\, Afghanistan and Bosnia; fought for equal rights for the LGBTQ community; and spoke out against gun violence. \nJackalope is a local\, four-piece band made up of Charlie Richardson\, Diana Farmer\, David Stowe\, and Mike Lawrence. A long-time supporter of the Peace Education Center\, the band has played together for almost 10 years and is known for its delightfully upbeat style of vocally harmonized pop\, rock and country covers.” \nIt was on May 9\, 1914\, that President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day “as a public expression of love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” CLICK HERE for more information on the history of Mother’s Day. \nEVENT FLYER URL:https://www.peaceedcenter.org/event/mothers-day-for-peace/ LOCATION:Allen Neighborhood Center\, 1611 E Kalamazoo St\, Lansing\, MI\, 48912\, United States CATEGORIES:Fundraiser ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.peaceedcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/mothers-day-for-peace-thumbnail.png ORGANIZER;CN="Peace Education Center":MAILTO:peaceedcenter@gmail.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
