Congratulations Sally!
Sally Peck, our Inner Peace Director, was presented with the Annual Purple Ribbon for Peace Award at the Pax Christi Conference on Saturday, March 26th! Sally is a life-long peace activist who worked to eliminate the death penalty. Her acceptance speech was very powerful. She mentioned Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote "A country that spends more on its military than programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." What an inspiration and example to all of your grandchildren who were there!
