Suzie Williams serves as an ambassador for the Savannah Peace Committe and is founder of the Savannah Tree Foundation along with Lynda Beam, who is also on the Savannah Peace Committee.

“I have been caring about and involved,” writes Suzie, “in Conservation and Environmental Organizations for the last 55 years….ever since my first daughter was born…….and I could see that a lot had to be done if she and others were going to have a meaningful life. And now as things continue to worsen, I believe that all people should get involved in helping to turn our way of living around to a simpler and safer one. And I believe this is very difficult for many people whose lives are so desperate and so often violent. So I can see that turning our cities into Cities of Peace will be a blessing that will hopefully bring all people together to work for bettering and protecting the Earth and the people who live here before it is too late.

“My most important task is to do all I personally can to help in making a meaningful life for my children’s and grandchildren’s generations and those who come after them.”

ABOUT SAVANNAH, GEORGIA (from Wikipedia)

Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia’s fifth-largest city and third-largest metropolitan area.

Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South’s first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).

Savannah’s downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966).[3][a] Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
