Members of the Bailey’s Crossroads Rotary Club joined the Falls Church Rotary Club for a Walk for Peace and Peace Expo at Falls Church High School March 24. The event was organized by Falls Church Rotary Club President Erica Brouillette.

Speakers included Janet Brown, who talked about respectful dialogue and conflict resolution, and Rene Calandria, who spoke about identity conflict in Muslim-controlled areas of Mindanao Island in the Philippines.

After the speakers, most participants went out for the Peace Walk, a 2.2-mile circuit around the Falls Church High School area.

Sponsors for the event were Veterans Pantry, Panera Bread in Bailey’s Crossroads, the Bailey’s Crossroads Trader Joes, and the Bailey’s Crossroads Rotary Club.

Bailey’s Rotarians participating include President Steven Wasko, past presidents Harry Henderson and Pat Borowski, Kate Walter, Amy O’Malley, Judy McDermott, and Dave Borowski.
Rotary District 7610 Governor Ronnie Chantker was joined by past district governors Janet Brown and Tin Tin Raschid in supporting the walk and expo.
