Upcoming Event:
On Saturday October 2nd, 6-10 pm the Voluntown Peace Trust will host a gala fundraising dinner with a silent auction at The Muste Center. October 2nd is the birthday of Mohandas Gandhi, the father of non-violent collective action. To honor his influence on the Voluntown Peace Trust's mission and work, we will serve an Indian dinner by Pacifeast Caterers.
Silent auction items pledged so far include a photographic print by nationally known artist Ellen Carey, a week at a cottage in Maine, Handmade Jewelry, a Swedish massage, a handmade quilt, and a signed book on non-violence by internationally-known expert Gene Sharp.
Dinner guests are invited to enjoy the new VPT Art Walk 4-6PM of site-specific art on the VPT property.
Tickets are $30.00 each and include dinner, dessert, and non-alcoholic beverages. Feel free to bring your own wine selection.
