Rose L. Walker
We celebrate the life of Rose L Walker who died in the company of her family on Friday, June 17th, 2011, at 101 years of age.
Rose served on the National Ethical Service Executive Board until she died. She was a recipient of the Eleanor Schnurr Award, a national service honor given by The UN Foundation.
She received in 2010 the Felix Adler Award from The American Ethical Union. Those who loved her celebrate her radiance and devotion to the ethical culture message of comprehensive interrelatedness practiced within the ethical culture movement. Through NES she ably represented us at the United Nations.
The Rose L Walker Fund was established in 2006 to ensure that the ethical culture voice at the UN will continue into perpetuity.

National Peace Academy
National Peace Academy celebrates its 3d birthday and is welcoming sustaining members. Any donation is welcome. Below describes NPA's great achievements which I have personally witnessed and experienced. There is a special campaign which ends March 31st. All donations will be matched thus doubling our contributions. This is an infrastructure to sustain!
"Peacebuilding vocations, just like careers in science, business or technology, are built upon foundations of knowledge and skills that are pursued through lifelong learning. While numerous universities are now offerings degree programs in peace related fields, opportunities to gain skills and knowledge in peacebuilding remain relatively inaccessible and expensive. The NPA, through partnerships with expert and experienced peacebuilders, is working hard to make learning for peace and change accessible, available and affordable to all." Celebrate NPA's 3d birthday by becoming a recurring donor. Big or small, your donation will be matched. Go to: www.nationalpeaceacademy.us
