LANSING, MI – A little rain could not dampen the spirit of those in attendance at Que’n with Kids on Saturday, August 21. The event was actually a gathering for peace in many of the attendees minds. Standing in the damp drizzle of the afternoon rain over 30 people shared a belief that our community can no long tolerate violence and the destruction that it causes.

It was especially geared towards youth, teenagers and their families.

Ongoing sources for grief include job loss, divorce and home foreclosure.
