Peace, Harmony & Moonlight On St. Patrick’s Day! Thursday, March 17, 2016

PeaceThe Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent violence and promote safer communities through education and application of research-based knowledge. The Institute was established to honor the memory of Melissa Aptman, who was murdered on May 5, 1995. Our goal is to reduce the incidence of violence. Our hope is for peace.

HarmonyBeautiful live music will caress your ears as soft breezes whisper around you. Come wine and dine with friends old and new. It’s a gathering that promotes harmony — the kind you hear and the kind you feel.

MoonlightFairchild Tropical Botanic Garden at night is a magical place. Take a special tram ride through the garden in the moonlight as you view sculpture by internationally renowned artists. It promises to be a peaceful, memorable evening that will linger with you long after the moonlight has faded.
