TEENS CHOOSE PEACESOUTHLAND TEENS PRESENT AND PERFORM ORIGINAL PEACE ART Teenagers throughout Los Angeles County have been invited to participate in the fifth annual "The Art of Peace" Celebration. They will create musical, stage, and dance works to be performed for the public on Saturday, April 17 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the SGI Friendship Center on the northeast corner of Fairfax and Venice Boulevards in Los Angeles. The program will be taped for later broadcast by public television. Admission is free and a buffet lunch is served. The United Nations has designated the years 2001 to 2010 as the "International Decade of the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for Children of the World." The Art of Peace is one of many programs worldwide promoting this "International Decade of Peace." For the past four years, the Southern California Regional Council of Organizations, a group of more than twenty non-governmental organizations affiliated with UNA-USA, Southern California Division, has sponsored this program. High school students in Los Angeles County have created their own vision of a world at peace through original group music, dance and dramatic art. Creating a culture of peace is like planting a seed, tending it, and nurturing it as it grows. The Southern California Regional Council of Organizations has made a 10-year commitment to plant and nurture the seeds of peace in today's youth through "The Art of Peace." UNA-USA

6, 2004. WHAT: “U.N.-U.S. Relations in the Post Election Era.” A keynote address by Ambassador and UNA-USA President & CEO William H. Luers. WHEN: Saturday, November 6, 2004, Noon – 3 p.m. WHERE: Pilgrim Place, Decker Hall, 665 Avery Road, Claremont, CA 91711 WHO: UNA-USA Southern California Division is hosting a luncheon event featuring William Luers, former Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, Venezuela, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Europe (in charge of Soviet and East European Relations). Luers has headed the UNA-USA since 1999, when he accepted the position after serving as President of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. WHY: November’s presidential election represents a benchmark in U.S. foreign policy, regardless of the outcome. What are the issues facing a newly elected President John Kerry or the incumbent Bush administration regarding the country’s relationship with the United Nations? What are policy options in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and other global hot spots? What changes are we likely to see in U.S.-U.N. relations given the two possible outcomes of the election? These and other questions will be addressed by Ambassador Luers on his visit to Southern California. CONTACTS: Reservations required
