Baltimore, MD

September 9-11, 2005
















Dear Friends,

On September 9, 10 & 11, 2005, more than 6,000 people viewed the Eyes Wide Open Exhibit in Baltimore. The weather was perfect, the attendance was terrific, the volunteers were exceptional, and we made a lasting impression on the community.

We want to thank the 150 volunteers for their hard work, energy, dedication, perseverance, and teamwork that made the Eyes Wide Open Exhibition in Baltimore an incredible experience and success.

We would also like to thank our co-sponsors, whose financial, spiritual, and emotional support made a tremendous difference. It kept us financially stable and helped provide wonderful turnout for the exhibition.

Thanks to all of you for coming together as a community to broaden the peace movement in the Baltimore area. We look forward to future opportunities to spread peace and work together to improve the lives of everyone in our city and state.
