Grace Place event set

Grace Place is hosting a fund-raiser at the Hudson Golf Club Thursday, Oct 16. The featured speaker at the event will be Tamara (Tami) DeMar, a former methamphetamine addict who was a resident at Grace Place and has since become a staff member. (See attached article for Tami's story.)

A social hour begins at 6 p.m., featuring wine and cheese tasting and a silent auction. Dinner is served at 7, followed by a program of music and the presentation by DeMar.

A donation of $20 covers the cost of dinner. For tickets, contact CeCe Krueger, (715) 386-8316, or Grace Place, (715) 247-2944.

Grace Place is a program of the Salvation Army and is funded by private donations and grants. The home offers temporary emergency shelter and is available to residents, who stay an average of 90 days. The Grace Place program allows clients a respite from rent and utility payments. Medical care is available, and staff and volunteers provide the resources and moral support clients need to put themselves on the path of self-sufficiency.
