Nov 7th: VOW Annual General Meeting

You are invited to attend our VIRTUAL AGM on Saturday November 7th, 2020!

Bring local news and help us plan our next year of peace advocacy. We’ll be delivering our board and financial reports, holding board elections, discussing current peace projects and more!

We’d love to have you with us! Please reply to info@vowpeace.org and confirm your attendance.
