Please join us on Saturday for the One World Peace Walk as we walk to demonstrate our commitment to peace and to call on our government to take bold steps to bring peace to the Middle East through non-violent means. The walk will start at the Norwood Common and proceed 4.6 miles along Route 1A to the Walpole Common. Dr. Andrew J. Bacevich, Professor of International Relations and History at Boston University will speak at the closing ceremony in Walpole at 4:30 PM.

The walk will end at approximately 4:30 with Dr. Bacevich’s talk, prayers, and a group sing led by local musicians. Refreshments will be served. Members of the public are invited to participate in the walk or may join for the closing ceremonies.
