Fall
River agency representatives and two City Councilors gathered on May 7,
2009 at the Father Diaferio Housing Development community room to review
the Peace
By Piece Summit held on March 28 at Bristol Community College.
The meeting was hosted by the Violence Prevention Task Force, a
committee of the
United Neighbors Community Partnership. The group evaluated various
aspects of the Summit and then began formulating additional events to be
held over the coming months to continue the benefits of the conference.
Ideas included tying a Peace Walk and
Hoop Fest
scheduled for June 24th, the
Summer
Kick-off, the August
National
Night Out,
Arts
Around the Block in September and other events together to
reinforce the message of the Summit. Additional meetings over the
summer will expand on these ideas, and and anyone with an interest is
welcome to attend.
