The Peace Abbey has a rich tradition of comforting the afflicted, afflicting the comfortable and alienating its funding sources.

BIGGEST BOOK FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD HONORED


Betsy Sawyer and her BIG BOOK: Pages for Peace Project received the Courage of Conscience Award on June 21 at the Pacifist Memorial. Having the Courage of Conscience Award actually placed in her hands, an emotional Betsy Sawyer found that it was her turn to speak. She thanked her students, their parents, the Pages for Peace Foundation board members, Earl Carter and Don Black for transporting the Big Book model to Sherborn, Rep Hargraves for attending the event, Bart Kulesz of EFI VUTEk along with the club’s other business partners, the Peace Abbey for the wonderful recognition, and Groton-Dunstable Middle School Principal Steve Silverman for all of his dedicated support. She shared a heart-felt, special appreciation for her family, including her sons and daughters, grandchildren, and most importantly, her husband, Charlie.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR YOUR VEGETARIAN FRIEND

The book about Emily the Cow's story is NOW available at the Abbey Gift Shop for $20.00 (all proceeds fund the care of her memorial). It is also available online at Barnes & Noble, Borders Books and Amazon.com. It chronicals Emily's life and is a beautiful story of how an animal that was about to become little more than hamburger meat, instead became food-for-thought for animal lovers throughout America and else where in the world.

A special thanks to Dan Everett and countless others for making it possible for Emily's story to be told in book form. It truly takes a village of animal lovers to produce a book like this! And hats-off to the MetroWest Daily News for embracing this story with such passion and conviction. The MetroWest Newsroom saved Emily's life.
