Dear IDP20011@OCU Team:
Could we consider having a meeting next week, June 27-July 1? I could also meet this week, Thursday (afternoon) or Friday.
Jennifer, or Reverend Long, and Dr. Meinhart, we are looking forward to working with you. Will you consider hosting our first meeting at OCU if at all possible next week or at a best possible date for most of the team in July? I have included in this e-mail pertinent Casady faculty and students to inform and welcome their input and participation.
Please find a tentative draft schedule of the International Day of Peace at Casady at http://serviceapathtopeace.blogspot.com/. I also placed news about a Peace Art Exhibit coming to Casady and news of the Japan America Society of Oklahoma, (JASO), Japan in a Suitcase outreach offerings made possible by a grant from the Center for Global Partnership, Japan Foundation. See attached flyers.
Looking forward to your reply,
Carmen Clay
Peace, the heart of service

For the ones who might not know: I received great news last week. Casady will host the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE, PEACE PALS ART EXHIBITION, AMBASSADOR OF PEACE COLLECTION, http://www.wppspeacepals.org/idp; the artwork of youth from around the world as part of our International Day of Peace program. The Peace Pals Ambassador of Peace collection features artwork of youth between the ages of 5 and 16 representing 63 countries of the world. Each artwork is a masterpiece giving expression to the hope, aspirations and inner beauty inherent within the hearts of youth everywhere. Included on each artwork is the message, "May Peace Prevail On Earth". The Exhibition is made possible through a joint collaboration between the Culture of Peace Initiative and Peace Pals International. The exhibit is scheduled to open the first week of September at Casady and Oklahoma City venues. Will OCU consider being one of those venues? I hope the exhibit could be at Casady from September 1-10. After that it is open to possibilities, but curators will have to pick-up the exhibit from Casady or from any other venues. I sent an e-mail to Peace Pals to see how long we can host the exhibit in our city.
The Japan America Society of Oklahoma received a grant from the Japan Foundation, Center for Global Partnership and will be able to provide films and workshops for Casady and Oklahoma City as part of their Japan in a Suitcase outreach series. Check out the preliminary description of opportunities available. Dr. Gigi Hu, Education Coordinator of the Japan America Society of Oklahoma is part of our team and she will keep us updated.
