[Update] Moms 'Action for Gun Sense' Vigil Thursday

Editor's Note: There has been a last-minute need to change the location for today's vigil. The event will not be held at Southern Lehigh Public Library as originally planned. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is in the process of trying to nail down a new venue. Check back with Upper Saucon Patch for updates.

The local chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America invites members of the community to honor victims of gun violence and show their support of common sense gun laws through a vigil at Southern Lehigh Public Library on Thursday at 6 p.m.

The event, planned along with Mayors Partnering with Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG), will feature several speakers, including:

• Kristen Bruck, Chapter Public Relations Coordinator, and her 8-year-old son
• Linda Morrison, Chapter Regional Ambassador for the Lehigh Valley
• Ce Ce Gerlach, Allentown School Board

There will also be a petition drive and information on the ways members of the Lehigh Valley can contact their members of Congress. Materials about Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and MAIG will also be available.

Southern Lehigh Public Library is at 3200 Preston Lane, Center Valley. For more information, contact Bruck of the Southeast PA Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America at 610-295-2239.
