The Community Mediation Center of Calvert proudly presented its first Annual Peace-Builder Award on National Conflict Resolution Day. 

The award was presented to Reverend Ken Phelps, pastor of All Saints Episcopal Church, and Robyn Truslow, Calvert Library Public Relations Coordinator, for their work in bringing community members together to plan and present the Civil Discourse for Sustainable Calvert (CDSC) series, which is being held at the Calvert Library in Prince Frederick.

 The CDSC discussion series gives Calvert County residents an opportunity to share perspectives on important and often difficult issues regarding economic, social, and environmental topics.  Mrs. Truslow and Rev. Phelps worked tirelessly with other committee members to ensure the CDSC program would be hosted in a safe and welcoming atmosphere that encourages constructive conversation among a diverse group of community members.  Rev. Phelps and Mrs. Truslow’s commitment to this program ensured availability of quality guest speakers, as well as trained and experienced facilitators from the Community Mediation Center to help participants have the best conversation possible. Their vision to bring people together to talk about shared values, think deeply about choices, and respond imaginatively to the needs of our community is a gift to Calvert.  The series is a unique and valuable peace-building initiative to benefit Calvert County.  For more information on the CDSC series, go to www.calvert.lib.md.us
