March Newsletter
We are looking forward to longer, warmer days ahead! The Peace House team is hard at work gearing up for spring and has some exciting opportunities to connect with the community coming up.
March is Women's History Month. The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during the ongoing global pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.
