      Piper’s Landing



      Holds Golf Tournament Fundraiser For SafeSpace



      By Michelle Maguire
        On Feb. 21 the Piper’s Landing Women’s 18 Hole Golf
      Association  (PLWGA)  held  a  golf  tournament  charity
      event for SafeSpace, the only state certified agency
      serving domestic violence victims and their children in
      Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. Members of
      the PLWGA and other members of the Piper’s Landing
      community supported the event by sponsoring golf holes,
      making donations, buying raffle tickets and auction items.
      The event, cochaired by Nancy Wong and Rosemary
      Burns, included a luncheon with a live auction conducted
      by Mik Panavas, silent auction and a tea cup raffle of over
      60 items and a talk by SpaceSafe CEO Teresa Albizu.
        The event raised $26,535 which included over $3,000
      from  about  50  PLWGA  members  who  paid  to  buy                                                   Access Your Voter
      welcome bags/purses containing personal hygiene and
      toiletry items to give to domestic violence victims when     Albizu shared that besides a hotline and emergency
      they enter the emergency shelter, many of whom come   shelters, SafeSpace also provides a wide range of other   Information
      with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. This helps   services to victims seeking help inside and outside
      defray the costs of about 50 bags SafeSpace will give to
      victims who come to the shelter for safety.        Piper’s Landing on page 3                            Spring greetings to all!
