Stuempfle, Ramanathapillai Win Peacemaker Awards

Peacemaker Awards for 2005 will be given to Herman Stuempfle and Rajmohan Ramanathapillai. The ceremony will be held on Monday, April 18, at 7 p.m., in the Eisenhower Room at the Adams County Library in Gettysburg. All are invited. Refreshments will be served.

This year the Board of the Interfaith Center has decided to bestow both a Lifetime Achievement Award and an award for an achievement during the past year. Herman Stuempfle, former President of Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary and a founding member of the Gettysburg Martin Luther King Celebration Committee and the Adams County Human Relations Council, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. Raj Ramanathapillai will receive the Peacemaker Award for his work in organizing the “One Boat at a Time” tsunami relief effort, described elsewhere in this issue.

The Peacemaker Awards are given annually to local residents who have made a distinguished contribution to the promotion of peace and justice. Each consists of a plaque and a donation of $150 worth of books in the recipient’s name to the Adams County Library.
