ABILENE - The next program in the Evenings at Ease series is Tuesday, August 10 at 7 p.m. central time featuring guest speaker Merrill Atwater. This online presentation will begin right at 7 o'clock, so please sign in 10 minutes early.
Merrill Atwater is the CEO with People to People International (PTPI).
The People to People Program was officially launched by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on September 11, 1956.
After witnessing the horrors of the Holocaust, President Eisenhower recognized the surest way to break cycles of fear and misunderstanding was for people to understand one another. He envisioned programs such as city affiliations, pen-pals, stamp exchanges, international sporting events, musical concerts, hospitality programs, theatrical tours and book drives as the means to achieving that goal - a critical goal in the existing Cold War climate. PTPI’s Global Network ensures that immersive experiences and intentional cross-cultural education help everyday citizens become leaders who understand others and make a difference.
