Dear Society of PEACE Members & Supporters:
The New Year is finally here and there's never been a
better time to adopt a compassionate, earth-friendly

resolution to make a difference -- for your
health, the animals and the planet!
It's also a great time to get involved in several
volunteer opportunities we have within our growing
organization! If you are interested in helping with
tabling & outreach, events planning, letter writing and
