I’m working with the 2010 Peace Project in Richmond during the upcoming Winter Olympics.  The Peace Project is a consortium of people and programs working on issues related to hunger, poverty, equality and the environment.

Our venue, Memories Thrift Store, is right in the middle of the Olympics action, near the Olympic Speed Skating Oval and the “Ozone” Celebration venue.  We will use our storefront to raise awareness of the global need for the things that contribute to peace: food security, affordable housing, stability, equality, and an end to violence.

You can read more about our project here: The Memories Thrift Store Peace project.

We need your help to collect brief messages of peace from around the world. We will print the messages and post them all over the store (inside and out!). We don’t need a novel - a short message from the heart will do.

Please forward this request to your friends, co-workers and family members. Share it with your communities, clubs, associations, organizations and others. We expect over 25,000 people a day to see our storefront, so the more messages we receive the more of an impact the project will have!

Thank you Susan! With you publishing this, there will be more awareness to the problems in the world. So many go to sleep at night without a meal or a place to lay their head and now we have Haiti where hundreds of thousands are in dire straights. We must do what we can and if everyone pitches in, it will be very helpful.
