Her topic is Following the Spiritual Path as a Citizen for Peace.
She writes “I consider myself an active citizen and peaceworker.”
This started early.. as a young mother in 1969. However in the 50s her dad, returning from WW II,
nurtured her early awareness and desire for peace to prevail.
Over the years she remained an active involved citizen, until her most public work began
when she served 2 terms on the Duluth City Council 2008-2016.
She remains engaged in politics now as an Elder, intentionally mentoring several women who now serve
in our State Senate, St Louis County Board and Duluth City Council.
In 2021, another significant step for peace emerged when she was specifically recruited to serve in the Leadership Circle of our local Grandmothers for Peace.
Throughout her journey, she’s been grateful and aware of serving her original values as a peace activist
who started young and has carried on through her adult life.
We are honored to Welcome you Sharla as a gifted and consistent example of the 70s motto :
Think Globally and Act Locally.
