Paula Olinger, Jan Guillory to Receive Peacemaker Awards

Each year the Interfaith Center for Peace and Justice gives two Peacemaker Awards to recognize local residents who have made a significant contribution to the pursuit of peace, justice, or environmental sustainability. For 2009, Paula Olinger will receive the Lifetime of Peacemaking Award, while the Peacemaker of the Year Award for 2009 is awarded to Jan Guillory. Dr. Paula Olinger is a Professor of Spanish at Gettysburg College and the founder of The Center/El Centro, a nonprofit community center serving school-age children with after school and summer programs. Jan Guillory is the Director of the Gettysburg Community Soup Kitchen. The ceremony will be held on Monday, April 27, at 7 p.m., in the Eisenhower Room at the Adams County Library. The public is invited. Refreshments will be served.

Each Peacemaker Award consists of a plaque and a donation of $150 worth of books in the recipient’s name to the Adams County Library. Nominations are invited for next year’s awards; please leave messages at 334-0752.
