What is The Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation?

Since 1976 the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) has been working in the greater Thurston County area and beyond to create peace, social justice and nonviolence locally and worldwide.  We organize at the grassroots and carry out a variety of activities to inform and activate people.  Specifically, the Olympia FOR produces newsletters and TV programs, conducts weekly peace vigils, and sponsors speakers, workshops and other events.  We are part of the Western Washington FOR (a regional FOR network), the national FOR, and the International FOR. Nationally and internationally, FOR was founded when World War I began and has opposed all wars since then.  More information is posted in the menu below.

Sunday September 12:  Olympia FOR’s Summer Social

All members and friends of the Olympia FOR are invited to our first annual Summer Social from 3 to 6 pm on Sunday afternoon September 12 in Yauger Park on Capital Mall Drive SW, west of Cooper Point Road SW.  Our name includes the word “fellowship,” and we want to become more of a true fellowship – a grassroots organization where people get to know each other, enjoy friendships, and collaborate in working for peace, justice and nonviolence.  But today’s event won’t involve any work – just an enjoyable afternoon together! 

The planning committee is arranging for food, so you may simply come and enjoy!  Please RSVP so we’ll know how much food to prepare!  For information contact Rozanne Rants, Chair of our Membership Committee, at (360) 705-8520 rozannerants@yahoo.com
