V-Day Fall River's performance of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and A Prayer is quickly approaching! These powerful and life-changing monologues were written by a number of different authors including Maya Angelou, Edward Albee, Jane Fonda and Eve Ensler, and will be performed by a group of talented actors working for change in our community.

This performance serves to raise awareness about global, national, and local violence against women, and what we can do to stop it. The proceeds from this V-Day event will be donated to the Katie Brown Educational Program as well as the V-Day organization.

The fundraising dance was a success most people except me had fun at the dance because i was stuck outside doing line duty. But when i finally came in I had fun throwing beach balls at each other and watching people dance. I especially enjoy the dance battles that went on.Other then that the fundraising dance was a success and a lot of people had fun from what I can see.

This past weekend the Peaceful Coalition Ambassadors threw a summer jam dance event for the youth of Fall River. The dance was a success. A nice crowd attended with good music in the background, d.j. by disc jokey Dizzy. The music was fantastic, I'd seen everyone bumping their heads and dance along to the music, including the staff members. Everyone was feeling the atmosphere. Lights flashing, beach balls passing around, refreshments and snacks served. Great prizes were offered to winners of the limbo contest and best dancer. All the party goers wore hawaiian style laids.
