The community is invited to attend a ceremony on International Peace Day,
September 21, 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 monthly peace vigils in downtown Fort Bragg for the past
16 years. Community members and honorees will share music, thoughts,
meditation and prayers to foster peace. Acoustic music will be by Steven
Bates and Johnny Quest. 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. The annual event is sponsored by Occupy
Mendocino.

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.  Call 937-0334 for information.
