On Aug. 27, 1928, U.S. Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand signed a pact outlawing war. Fifteen nations signed the pact that day. Eventually, an additional 47 signatories joined them.

To help publicize this little-known fact promoting universal peace, WSFPC sponsors an annual Peace Essay Contest.

Please join us at this awards luncheon as a way to show your support for this positive peace initiative and to commemorate the date of its signing.

Featured speaker will be Melinda Clarke, the 2017 winner of the Peace Essay Contest. Clarke’s program includes a film about the bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and her interviews with some Hiroshima survivors.

You may reserve tickets by emailing us at the Peace Desk, wsfpc.peace@gmail.com, or by phoning us at (630) 510-8500, ext 104 by Monday, Aug. 20, 2018. Checks for the $35.00 cost may be sent to us at 213 S Wheaton, Wheaton, IL 60187. You may also make your payment at the door.
