PEACE Offering

UPDATED 3/5/07

Over 100 people attended the grand opening of the PEACE Iowa. If you weren't able to make it, here's what the Press-Citizen had to say.

"The people behind the new Peace Education & Action Center of Eastern Iowa believe there is power in numbers.

"A number of groups has wanted a peace center for years. This allows us to coordinate our efforts," said Lori Nelson, 41, who soon will be announced as the director of PEACE Iowa. The organization is based at Old Brick, 26 E. Market St. in Iowa City.

The center celebrated its grand opening Sunday at Old Brick. The center is a project of Iowans for Peace, a coalition of more than 20 political, religious, community, professional and student organizations throughout Eastern Iowa.

"It's been amazing," said Nelson, who lives in Iowa City. "We have never had so many people volunteer."
