The seasons are changing, and so are we. Join Peace House this December for a party to honor some major transitions for our organization, and to gather in community as we wrap up the eventful year of 2025.

At the end of this month, our long-time Executive Director, Elizabeth Hallett, will be stepping away. Effective January 1st, Meg Wade will take up the Executive Director role. Many of you have come to know Meg, currently on staff as our Program and Operations Fellow, as the voice of Clear Actions in recent months, and for their development and facilitation of the Resisting Militarism series.

To honor this transition, we’re hosting a party. We hope you’ll come shower Elizabeth with appreciation for her many contributions over these last eight years, and meet and welcome Meg.

Join us for hot drinks, light food, and good company on Thursday, December 18th, from 4-7pm. We’ll have a very brief program about 5:30, but drop in any time you’re able and share a memory of where we’ve been or thoughts about where we might go in 2026.

Help us know how many we expect by sending an RSVP.
