The public is invited to enjoy an enthralling presentation about “The United States Peace Corps: A Personal Recollection” hosted by Virginia Hesel, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Liberia, West Africa from 1967-69.
The lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. on May 5 at the Main Branch of the Cape May County Library, 30 Mechanic St., Court House.
The lecture explores what the Peace Corps is, its history, goals and purpose in today’s world. In 1960 Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. Since that time, more than 190,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have been invited to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation.
The Peace Corps is alive and well with 47 years of volunteer service in 139 countries worldwide. Discover what is gained by serving in the Peace Corps and the opportunities available to volunteers of all ages. Find out what a volunteer does, where volunteers go, and the personal and professional benefits provided in the Peace Corps.

 | Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
