Masonic Family Center (1110 West East Avenue)

We held another dinner to celebrate...well, all of us!  This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Chico Peace Movement.  It was 50 years ago that Wilhelmina Taggart, Helen Kinnee and Florence McLane began a weekly prayer vigil at the gates of the construction site of Titan missile silos in north Chico.  Their moved their vigil for peace to the corner of Third & Main Streets, where it has continued every Saturday since that time.

Our program included a review of the many, many people, organizations and movements that have been working tirelessly over the past 50 years.  There was also be a HUGE timeline on the walls for you to add important events and people that should be remembered as part of our movement for peace.

The dinner was once again be organic and almost completely locally grown.  Mojohito Richerson von Tchudi is planning the entire Middle Eastern-style, vegetarian dinner.
