Peace Fest '71


THE WORLD PEACE ORGANISM PRESENTS "PEACE FEST '71"

Sonoma State College



Dear Everyone,

    There is no longer a need to dwell on the fact that problems do exist. We are proposing that all work together to build a positive, alternative future.

    The World Peace Organism strives to present an environment in which people will interrelate on a personal level with cooperation rather than competition. To build a positive future, positive, constructive action is necessary. The constant motivating force for positive action is LOVE, the LOVE within us all.

    When you attend a PF/C, you are making a statement to the world that you too believe in a peaceful way of life for all -- the way of LOVE.

    For many this is a reconfirmation of understandings practiced daily. For those sharing the experience for the first time, it may be the open door to a new way of life - the way of LOVE. My thanks to all who devoted time, service, money
My thanks to all who gave of themselves in whatever form,
My thanks to all the artists who made this trip possible.

Peace, David

    Because of the enthusiastic response to the PF/C, it has been extended from the week of April 27th-30th through the following week of May 3rd-7th. As all of the programs for the second week had not yet been scheduled at the time of this printing, a supplementary program for the second week will be available at the student activities office during week one of the PF/C. (ps: The actual duration lasted into the 3rd week)

In addition to the scheduled programs, you will find the following events running concurrently throughout the PF/C:

ART SHOW --- Located in the plaza west of the library

PEACE GROVE --- A grove of Redwood Trees will be planted on campus in the faith that the world will last long enough for us to walk in the shade of these trees.

FREE STORE --- April 28th, 29th, 30th, on the Commons Terrace - bring what you can give and take what you want.

Vendors and crafters will be displaying their wares. Information and display tables of various organizations - in front of the Commons.

A 16 mm color, sound film will be made of the festival by the Advanced Film making class of SSC.

Thank you to David Harris who made his PF/C presentation on April 22.

Thank you to Lumier Sound of San Francisco for providing the sound for Music on the Hill.
