Peace Building Committee: The first planning meeting was held at Stanley Harsha’s house for the Peace Building Committee. It was a successful kickoff where they came up with a lot of ideas but for now will be focusing primarily on work for Ukraine. They want the conifer community to help in any way we can, so as refugees start coming, we as a group and others want to be sure to help the Ukrainians to settle in. For more information on ways to help the committee or the focus on Ukraine, please reach out to Stanley.
