The Peace Center Annual Meeting
Thursday-July 9, 2020 at 7PM

The year of clear vision-2020 -truly has many of us seeing differently than we could have ever projected.  Our COVID-19 pandemic still lingers, limiting our face to face encounters and causing us to evaluate and reevaluate our casual contacts.

By now, we would have gathered in the yard of the Richardson House to elect our new slate of officers for the Board of Directors.  We would have vetted potential new board members.  In the normal cycle of things, the staff would be planning for the new school year, lining up programs, schools and Peace Educators.

Instead, we are inviting you to The Peace Center Annual meeting on line next Thursday, July 9 at 7 pm.  Please register using the link or go to The Peace Center website, so that we can send you the secure Zoom link information and you can test out Zoom prior to the moment before the meeting!

Sign on to celebrate the successes of 2019, to approve the changes in the Executive Committee as listed below, and hear the dynamic plans for The Peace Center partnering in so many areas of our community this next year!

Since we’ve had to adapt how we do things in light of COVID, we are not bringing on new board members at this time.  We extended the term by 2 weeks from a July 1^st deadline to allow The Peace Center staff time after the Partnering for Peace BYOBreakfast fundraiser to breathe and coordinate the meeting.  Thank you to those who have already pledged or sent your support.

We are looking toward fall of 2020 to fill any vacancies on the Board.

And we are looking forward to our times when we can safely gather as we continue to be and build Peace.

So, you have some actions:

• Register now for the Annual Meeting next week.
• Review the Report of the 2020 Nominating Committee ( see Report below)
• Support our work together at this “Partnering for Peace” donation link, and receive 1 year of membership for free!
