Event Roster Growing as Peace Week Swings into July
Because of the organizational foundation (website, committee structure, processes, and policies) established last year, as well as the many volunteers who have stepped up from the faith and nonprofit community, we’re well ahead of where we were a year ago. Thanks to all of you!
Here’s What’s Happening:
- Events: We have about 25 Peace Week Events already on the books statewide, including both new and returning ones. With more to come!
- Event Sponsors: We have both returning and new Event Sponsors—all of whom are creating an exciting calendar of Events for you.
- Steering Committee: A great group of about 15 energetic, committed people—including many new volunteers—handling activities important to Peace Week success: media relations, social media, fundraising, website management, and event-sponsor liaison.
–Including help from the Community Partner Support Group of the Delaware Department of Health and Human Services (thanks!).
–Each member of the Steering Committee personally donating to support the Steering Committee’s statewide promotion of Peace Week.
