Dear Friend,

 

We are in a unique time of historical change.  Change always brings opportunities. For many the opportunity is expressed in saving the earth, or the dolphins, manatees, etc. For us in VPP, the opportunity comes in the form of raising awareness of peace.  One approach we promote is to place peace poles in residences, schools, businesses, and parks. To date, there are at least 31 peace poles spread throughout Venice, 20 of them with VPP involvement. A peace pole is more than a symbol of peace.  Each pole carries the energy of peace and awakens folks to ask questions about the pole: What does it mean?  Who started this practice? Are they all around the world?

 

The VPP board has made a decision to donate peace poles to community groups such as schools, parks, civic centers, etc..  Once installed, VPP will participate in a dedication ceremony, if desired by the recipient. For example, on International Peace Day (September 21), VPP provided poles to two Montessori schools.  The dedications at Island Village Montessori Schools involved 180 and 550 students, staff, and many of the parents in Sarasota and Venice, respectively.

 

This letter is an invitation requesting your assistance with VPP's mission to spread peace by contributing to the cost of peace poles which carry the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” The total cost for each pole is approximately $100. Any donation will be greatly appreciated.  Our goal is to raise $1,500.  Please send your contribution to:  Venice Peace Project, c/o Joan Volpe, 3575 Shamrock Drive, Venice, FL. 34293.  (Checks should be made out to Venice Peace Project.)

May peace prevail in your heart. 

Sincerely and gratefully yours in peace,
