WAND Holiday Greeting 2007

We wish you all the peace of the season now, and throughout the year.

As the year draws to a close: Please consider a tax-deductible contribution to WAND Education Fund. We want to continue to spread the word about the possibilities for peace rather than violence; cooperation rather than conflict. Thank you.

Give birth again
To the dream...
Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister's eyes, into
Your brother's face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope
Good morning.

--Maya Angelou

from Susan Shaer, WAND Executive Director

Dear Friend,

While we end this year at war on two fronts, with circulating rumors of more, I have hope. More and more people are clamoring for peace. I am proud to work for WAND -- and with all of you, whose passion and zeal thoroughly embrace the positive.

Women are stepping up and taking their seats at the tables of power where vital decisions about our world are made. It's a time of possibility for all of us -- for WAND, for women, for peace.

Thank YOU for all your help in building our organization and for being a part of a future filled with promise and hope.

In peace,
Susan

WAND's good friend and artist Edie Allen created this image for us in 2007 -- after the national conference in Washington, DC. She says she was inspired by all the women from so many communities gathering together to work for peace. For more of her wonderful images, please visit her web site: alphabetanimals.com
