LAKE COUNTY SUMMER OF PEACE

June 22September 21, 2012In cooperation with the Global Summer of Peace Celebrated on all Continents and Culminating in the

International Day of Peace on 9-21-12

For further information, contact: [email protected]

July 9, 2011

The Lake County Summer of Peace invites you and your organization to join in the planning and

execution of a unique and historic event in Lake County throughout the summer of 2012. Planning

starts now. Joining other regions, countries, states and cities around the world, we have an opportunityto consciously and positively move with the shift that we all feel in human consciousness and become

proactive in the overall social healing of our community toward an even more divine place to live and

work.

Your participation in the new sense of unity, freedom, independence and personal responsibility for

our well being that has taken hold in various parts of the world, will be the driving force for change inour own hearts, homes and towns around the lake, our new economic vision now developing, and ourways of creating our Lake County future. We are the change.

One great vision of Lake County, for example, has been to develop ourselves as a cultural colonyaround our beautiful mountain lake, with bistros and little places for musicians and artists and the

public to meet and talk and enjoy the music. Lake County has attracted an unusual number of fine

musicians and artists to the area, who are already setting the tone for this kind of environment,

delicious for ourselves and for guests and tourists who want to see and enjoy the new wine country.

Talent and interest in stage and radio have grown exponentially in the past few years, and KPFZ, the

Soper-Reese, the Weaver Theatre, the Fairgrounds Little Theatre, the Tallman Hotel and the LakeCounty Arts Council have provided important gathering places for expanding audiences among new

and old residents of the area. From small, intimate plays to huge musical productions on our stages,

opportunities have abounded for the development of native talent discovered in adults and our

youngest actors and directors.

Interest in health and expansion of the human spirit and well being are evident everywhere, as

demonstrated by the more than 300 non-profit organizations in the county and a growing number ofexercise and health groups, including Quail Run and the Sutter Wellness program. The Lake County

Co-op and food/farm groups are changing our habits about diet, foods and organic gardening.

Transition Lake County is leading the way in our unique collaboration with earth and its elements:

air, water, fire and water.

Technology has not forgotten our remote county; we are a part of the vanguard of developing ideas and

new ways to reach economic and human capacities for communication, music, news dissemination andhealth outlets. Several major senior centers and organizations to meet the needs of ethnic groups

abound, along with 4-5 casinos, depending upon how you count them! Our Hispanic population is

growing. We have an obligation for further inclusion of Native Americans and African American

residents.

We now have a popular online newspaper, Lake County News, adding to our traditional print source,

the Lake County Record Bee. We are blessed with a superb symphony orchestra and many vocalgroups and individuals, including operatic and popular singing groups. Musicians and small and large

bands abound. Vineyards and wineries replace some of the pear and walnut homesteads of the county.

Our entire county is changing! For all our charm and history and practical purposes, we are a newentity, culturally, psychologically and economically!

Nonetheless, who and what we are as a community may look ancient in five years. Our world ischanging so rapidly that we now have an opportunity to become active social healers and are called to

action to take part in this massive transition during our lifetimes. Culturally, psychologically,

politically, socially, physically, we are called to participate in the deep changes within and around us.

While we are changing, we also are at a crossroads to shape and create ourselves, our towns and thecounty we love, opening our doors to tourists, new business, new low-impact industry and restored

property values in our beautiful countryside.

Lake County Summer of Peace offers countless opportunities for you to communicate your vision ofthe county and how you would like to influence that change. This is an opportunity for individuals and

communities to exercise their true right to We the Peopledemonstrate our choice, will,commitment and common determination to create a peaceful, caring, mindful community that is fun,healthy, positive and economically beneficial to all.

The transition will take place at the initiative of individuals and organizations throughout the Countythat want to create change toward inner and outer tranquility, openness, tolerance, humor, inclusion,

cooperation, givingness and forgiveness, harmony, creativity, mentoring, compassion, reduction of

family and other violence and bullying, the general prosperity of the area and any other positive and

peaceful change you wish to manifest.

For the Lake County Summer of Peace, through radio, television, film, video, live stage and online

programs, you can create and develop workshops, lectures, plays, concerts, and video programs onhealth, communications, relationships, area development, exercise, music, childrens art, adult art,sculpture, cross-culture programs, dance, drumming, singing, education about health and relationships,

and through joining the planning and execution of the summer of peace here and abroad. Even your

business can take part in demonstrating your dedication to peace and its qualities through yourproducts and services. Lake County can also link with another city, town or region abroad to share

ideas and programs in the global Summer of Peace.

We have booked our first event of the summer, and many more are in the wings: The first

registration for the Lake County Summer of Peace is Peace Dances in the Park, native dancing to the

poetry of Thich Nhat Hanh, led by Barbara Christwitz, a teacher at Yuba College and a Founding

Member of the Lake County Coop. Two separate events will take place: (1) Clearlake Austin Park,Saturday, September 14, 2012 4-5:30 pm. Lakeport Library Park, Sunday, September 15, 2012 in

Museum Park, 4-5:30 pm. Drumming will follow both events. Bring your drums and rhythm

instruments. Many other events have been committed, but are not yet on the calendar.

A safe and dependable economic environment is essential to peace of mind here as elsewhere, and new

activity is anticipated to create an influx of tourists and family/friend visitors during the Summer of

Peace, a boost to the local economy. We are all in this together, and welcome your ideas andparticipation. We are in the process of planning a Proclamation to be heard before the Board of


4/20

Supervisors next Tuesday, August 23 at 9:10 am, and ask you to please attend and support the

event. We are also contacting officials at the City Councils of Lakeport and Clearlake and otherorganizations, including the Lake County .

There will be no cost for services for this program, except perhaps a modest donation for registration tocover administration (paper, printing, inks, and web hosting) for emailing/scheduling/ publicizing

events throughout the year. Hopefully, attendance for most programs will be free or low cost; andeach participant program underwrites its own events, and make its own agreements with venues orparks, equipment, concessions and materials, according to its own needs and resources.

Please let us know how you would like to interface so that coordination can help avoid event conflict

and overlap, and the programs are publicized through the entertainment and general news media,newsletters, Chambers of Commerce and other non-profits, vineyards and wineries and other

benefiting groups.

Heres to Lake County and our Summer of Peace 2012!

We will also endeavor toward developing our own inner peace through private, relational and

other shared ways and values that contribute to the peace and prosperity of Lake County.

Sincerely,

LAKE COUNTY SUMMER OF PEACE AND INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

OF PEACE (90 days of celebration and demonstrations of peace through public programs). I am

a supporter of this concept, and will contribute my way of peace and follow the guidelines to thebest of my ability toward a common goal of peace in Lake County and beyond.

Please print and sign your name, address, email and phone numbers and return to the

Peace Center, P. O. Box 716, Lakeport, CA 95453 to be on our email list. Your info will
