The community is invited to International Peace Day, Wed., September 21, at 1:30 PM, in the Howard Ennes Jr Memorial Peace Garden at the Fort Bragg Senior Center.  This year's honorees are the Women in Black who have been holding weekly world peace vigils the past 16 years in Fort Bragg. Community members and honorees will share music, thoughts, meditation and prayers to foster peace. Following the event there will be a reception with refreshments. If you wish, please bring cut flowers and a small stone to add to the garden inner circle. You may also bring banners.  The annual event is sponsored by Occupy Mendocino. Information at 707-937-0334.

The International World Day of Peace was first celebrated in 1982 with September 21 set as the annual day of observation at the Equinox, a time of balance by the United Nations. The UN Resolution declares that “the International Day of Peace shall henceforth be observed as a day of global cease fire and nonviolence, an invitation to all nations and people to honor a cessation of hostilities for the duration of the Day. ” For the past 34 years, the International Day of Peace has been a catalyzing opportunity for individuals, nations, and civil society to unite in shared yearning for a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.
