International Day of Peace
September 21
A major initiative, spurred on by Margo LaZaro this past year, was the creation of a new UN International Day of Peace poster. She worked closely with the UN DPI and art and graphics staff to create this stunning poster, which will be used for the next several years. Margo dedicated this to her nephew, Anthony LaZaro, who was working closely with her and died suddenly the day the design was completed.

These posters were sponsored by Global Family, the World Harmony Foundation and Mayors for Peace. We were honored to partner with these two outstanding organizations committed to creating peace and harmony.
