On Saturday, February 16, 2013, Peace Place, Inc. will hold its 12th Annual Ball, A Celebration of Lights.  The Ball includes a dinner buffet catered by Cornbread and Caviar, live musical entertainment by "Shaken Not Stirred", dancing, and a silent auction.  The event begins at 6:30pm at the Winder Community Center in Winder, GA. 


Tickets for the event are $60 each or $500 for a table of eight.  Procuring a table earns the person or business the honor of being announced as an event sponsor and all event sponsors will receive a special gift.  All proceeds from the Ball and silent auction will support the victims and survivors of domestic violence who utilize the services and programs provided by Peace Place.  This includes those in shelter, in transitional housing, and being served through outreach programs.  The majority of our clients are from Barrow, Banks, and Jackson counties.    


Peace Place is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that provides shelter for victims of domestic violence.  Since our opening in June of 2000, over 1,900 women, children and men have been sheltered by Peace Place.  Our shelter not only offers a safe, confidential place to live, but provides counseling, employment assistance, legal advocacy, and support.


If you would like to purchase tickets or a table for the event, would like to make a financial contribution, or you have an item to donate to the silent auction, please call the Peace Place administrative line at (770) 307-3633 ext. 64.  All items donated for the silent auction will include information about the donator as a thank you for supporting Peace Place.  


We hope to see you there!

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! SometimesRead More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
