Description

The Peace Builder Awards Gala is an event unlike any other, bringing our mission to life. Help us recognize community members who inspire collaboration, embody peace, and give hope to our community.
News this year has brought many reminders of the need for better resolutions to conflict - school violence, families torn apart by vicious divorce, divisive community issues. It doesn’t have to be this way. This is a critical time to invest in conflict resolution. More and more families are reaching out to the WDRC with their most intimate and pressing needs. Funds raised at our Gala help ensure that we’ll never turn away a family in foreclosure, a young person in trouble, or a parent in need.
Guests will celebrate our 2018 Peace Builder Award Recipients and support the WDRC, while enjoying: a chef inspired dinner, hors d'oeuvres and drinks, live music, Peaceful Poetry Youth Contest readings, and a silent auction, grand prize raffle, wine wall, and dessert dash. All proceeds benefit the WDRC and our mission
 
What we need:
 
We are seeking volunteers to assist with a variety of roles and responsibilities for the 16th Annual Peace Builder Awards Gala, Friday November 16th at Settlemeyer Hall at BTC.  We will provide all volunteers with snacks and sustenance throughout the evening,and ample inspiration from our Peace Builder Award and Poetry Contest recipients. 
 
We request that all volunteers attend one of two orientations (snacks provided). The orientations will take place Tuesday, 11/13, 12-1 PM and Wednesday, 11/14, 5-6 PM.
