Arkansas: Groundbreaking for Beacon of Hope!
May 2006


The groundbreakers are Congressman Vic Snyder, Mayor Patrick Hayes, Jean Gordon and Caroline Stevenson.


The children are from Woodruff School - which boasts of 460 days without a fight.


Congressman Vic Snyder (AK)

Arkansas WAND celebrated Mother's Peace Day with a luncheon -- and a great groundbreaking of the Beacon of Peace and Hope.

The tenacious and lovely Jean Gordon says: "The whole day was a fabulous success! Joyce Eliott is such an exciting speaker. Her son ended his introduction of her with 'My mom is the coolest person I know.' One friend said 'This luncheon and one other are the two best events of the year.' We had lots of fun putting it together."
