Nations International Day of Peace this Sunday, September 21, from
12:30-4 p.m. at McMenamin's Grand Lodge Yardhouse. Roots & Shoots
members will fly giant peace dove puppets, singer-songwriter Dana
Lyons will perform and there will be information/activity tables. Food
and beverages will be available for purchase. Please join us for this
event, which, in the words of Roots & Shoots founder Jane Goodall,
"celebrates all that is free and noble in the human spirit."
There is no charge for the event, but donations to Roots & Shoots are
welcome.
Roots & Shoots is an international group that engages young people in
projects supporting animals, the environment and the human community.
The Forest Grove group, which includes students from FGCS and Tom
McCall Upper Elementary School, is led by teacher Charlie Graham and
meets weekly after school at Tom McCall. Information will be sent home
soon about meeting days and times.
