A Celebration of Peacemakers

On Sunday, May 7th, we gathered at Lacey Community Center for A Celebration of Peacemakers.  The DRC's first large indoor, in-person gathering since 2019, this new event honored our volunteers, supporters, advocates and community partners - all those whose efforts help create a more civil and peaceful community. 

The highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of the Evan Ferber Peacemaker Leadership Award to Anne Larsen, in recognition of her community service.  Anne Developed the Crisis Response Unit and Familiar Faces Program.  These programs focus on community members in crisis due to poverty, trauma, and mental health issues or substance disorders, with the goal of connecting clients to housing, medical care, treatment, and to their families.

The presence of several past recipients of the Peacemaker Award, or family representatives, made this a doubly-special gathering.

Congratulations to Anne Larsen and to all who contribute to civility and peace in our community. Supporting the Dispute Resolution Center and its many volunteers demonstrates our commitment to healthy resolution where conflict exists.
