Good morning, and happy IPD! Keeping an eye on the weather, here's what's in store:

6-7pm: Vigil for Peace under the Pergola in front of Libbey Park. Consider wearing white.

7pm: Opening ceremony for the Living Peace in Ojai weekend, taking place in the fountain area of Libbey Park. Music will gather and focus us, Judy Gabriel of Meditation Mount will welcome us, and Rae Hanstad of the Ojai City Council will read the Peace Day proclamation that the City issued last week. Then the Ojai Peace Coalition will present its first-ever Noble Peace Prize to Clive and Marion Leeman of the peace vigil! A prayer of Peace and some candle-lit silence will transition us to...

8:15pm: free screening of "Peace One Day" taking place on the patio at Ojai House, 304 N Montgomery St. It's about four blocks from the Park, so as long as you're dressed warmly you're welcome and encouraged to create a candle-lit procession to get there. The film is 80 minutes long.

if you're suddenly inspired to volunteer for any bit of this weekend, please call 805-715-9796 or email the team.

* if it's raining, the entire operation will move to the Chaparral auditorium, on Ojai Avenue at Fox Street *
