Headquarters.
Outreach

ACLC, UPF and
WFWP is working to invite prestigious Ambassadors for Peace,
religious and political leaders to participate in the Seonghwa
Ceremony in Korea and/or include their names as part of the Memorial
Advisory Committee. Attached are three UPF letters that can be used
for invitational outreach on your local level. Please coordinate your
activity with the national ACLC, UPF and WFWP leadership.
Please
