Last year, Peace House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to stopping family violence and abuse in Summit and Wasatch counties, sheltered nearly 100 women and children and one man. The combined average of the total days they stayed at the shelter was 3,300 nights, which is double from the previous year. To help maintain the services and items needed for those and additional stays, Peace House holds an annual spring luncheon fundraiser. This year's event will be held on Wednesday, May 7, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1505 White Pine Canyon Rd., from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. The event is free, but donations will be accepted. Five years ago, executive director Jane Patten and the board of directors discussed different ways to raise money. "As we were starting to energize and change our style of fundraising, we decided to combine an awareness of what Peace House does, how we do it and why we do it with fundraising," Patten said during an interview RECYCLE UTAH'S EARTH DAY FUNDRAISER AT WASATCH BREW PUB Recycle Utah will host its annual Earth Day fundraiser at Wasatch Brew Pub, 250 Main St., on Sunday, April 27, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. The event will feature dinner, drinks and a silent auction.

The Park Record PHOTO COURTESY OF PEACE HOUSE Reverend Tracy Hausman, of the Park City Community Church and Peace House board member, makes an address during last year's luncheon and fundraiser presented by Peace House. This year's event will be held on May 7. This year, we're excited because the theme is about honoring our past, but also letting people know how we're different today…" Jane Patten Peace House executive director with The Park Record. "We wanted to do something that was low-key, very pleasant and not a hard-hitting, expensive fundraiser." They came up with the idea of hosting a spring luncheon. "Although we do ask for donations at the end of the luncheon, we made it possible for anyone to attend it for free," Patten explained. "Since we started hosting the luncheon, we've doubled our donations, which is wonderful." The event is sponsored by Zion's Bank and one of the Peace House board of directors, Marilyn Darby, owner of Booster Juice, is contacting a number of restaurants and caterers for the food. "We'll have salad, soup, bread and alternatives for those who want to eat gluten-free," Patten said. It's nothing fancy, but it's very, very nice." The most exciting part of the presentation for Patten will start at the beginning when Peace House honors Bob Wells, from the real estate development and resort planning department of Deer Valley. "Without Bob, our present shelter would have never been built," Patten said. "If you know Bob, you know he's quiet and soft spoken, but he knows everyone and everyone who knows him loves and respects him." Wells has been involved with Peace House since the beginning. "He helped us through the first number of years and got people to know the importance of supporting Peace House," Patten said. "Deer Valley donated the land and he, along with other leaders in the community, worked hard to find a place to build the shelter and got the construction going and they also drew in various community partners to get it done. So we're thrilled that he will be a part of Please see Luncheon, C-2 Barbecue will benefit Peace House The Wine and Swine is a fun way for the community to donate By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record For the past five years, St. Luke's Episcopal Church has hosted the Wine and Swine barbecue benefit for Peace House. This year's dinner will be held on Saturday, May 3, at the church, 4595 Silver Springs Dr., beginning at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public and RSVPs are appreciated, but not mandatory. RSVPs can be made by calling Shannon at 801-597-8560. The benefit is a casual dinner party and pig roast for anyone who wants to attend, said Paul Van Der Bosch of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. "It will be a basic barbecue menu," Van Der Bosch told The Park Record. "I will roast a small pig, and there will be buns to make sandwiches and all the sides - coleslaw, beans, cornbread and salads - that you would expect at a barbecue." There will also be an assortment of wine and nonalcoholic beverages available for the kids and anyone who doesn't drink. "It's not every day I get to entertain and cook a whole hog," he said. "This is a great excuse for me to do it once a year." Van Der Bosh said the barbecue wouldn't have been possible without the help of other volunteers.
