It provides shelter for victims, outreach for people who want to help and education in the area school districts. Peace House provides prevention education outreach for more than 5,000 students in Summit and Wasatch Counties. "Those are important because these programs are used to stop generational domestic violence and child abuse, because if it's not stopped, a child will think the abuse is normal," said Jane Patten, executive director of Peace House. "That's why events such as Peaceful, Easy Evening are important for us." In order to continue these services, Peace House will host a fundraiser benefit at Louland Falls on Tuesday, Aug. 13. The event, dubbed the Peaceful, Easy Evening, will feature wine tastings by the Fox School of Wine, hors d'oeuvres, dinner, live music, awards and honors and a keynote speech by Elizabeth Smart Gilmour. "Our idea was to provide an event that was something different than the usual gala and silent auction," Patten told The Park Record. "Since we, as an organization, are moving more towards awareness- and mission-based events, we decided to raise money in a way that gets the word out into the community what we're all about." So, Patten and her staff decided to use the evening to honor those who have supported Peace House over the years. The first person is Park City Mayor Dana Williams. "From the time he first began his run as mayor of Park City, he has always talked about how important Peace House was to the area and how important it was for the community to support an organization like ours," Peaceful, Easy Evening to benefIt Peace House PHOTO COURTESY OF PEACE HOUSE The scenic redrock stairs of Louland Falls will serve as the setting for Peaceful, Easy Evening benefit for Peace House. Patten said. "We felt, as he finishes up his last term of office, which breaks our heart, that it was important to acknowledge the good that he has done for all nonprofits, especially Peace House." The other important individual is Keller Williams' real estate agent Sandra Vogt, chairwoman of the Luxury Home Tour, which takes place today, Aug. 10, at Deer Crest. "We wanted to acknowledge the fact that Sandra has done so much more in our community and in her life before she came to Park City as far as nonprofit organizations go," Patten said. "She's headed up huge fundraising events in other parts of the country and headed up Keller Williams' Red Please see Peaceful, C-4 Club benefits new and long-time residents CHANGING THE WORLD ONE DROP AT A TIME By SCOTT IWASAKI The Swaner EcoCenter, 1258 Center Dr. at Kimball Junction, will present Changing the World One Drop at a Time, a discussion with Nancy Mesner, a water quality specialist, head of USU Water Quality Extension, and associate professor in USU's Department of Watershed Sciences.

The Newcomer's Club of Greater Park City was established in 1995 as a way to help new residents of Summit and Wasatch counties to learn about their new community. The nonprofit organization offers an array of activities including hiking, bicycling, bridge games, luncheons and theater outings, to name a few. Still, the name "Newcomer's Club" is used liberally, because the membership includes new residents, longtime residents who have just retired and others that joined a few years ago, said co-presidents Marlene Barber and The Park Record Marlene Peacock. "Some members have been members for four or five years," Barber said during last month's coffee meeting. "They continue to come because they like all the different things that can be done and they've made a set of friends." "There are others who are new to the club, but may have lived here for 10 to 12 years and are newly retired and finally have time to join," Peacock said. The club hosts a monthly coffee social that lasts about 1½ hours at Park City Community Church, 4501 S.R. 224, where new members are introduced.
