Peace Frog


 


Organizers for Flagstaff Peace Day Celebration met in December 2013 to plan and organize activities that would promote peace throughout northern Arizona by being informed and involved with International Peace Day.  Being affiliated with the non-profit New Day Peace Center, the group joined Peace One Day to become a part of the world effort to promote peace, beginning with the individual.  Community members contributed donations of money, time and talent for this community sponsored event.
