While all you fabulous guys are strapping on those sparkling heels and hoping not to tip over at the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, make sure to shuffle on over to the Warheim-Myers Mansion for a special pre-walk celebration.
Members of Hanover’s Soroptomist International chapter work on the new peace garden on June 27.
The Hanover chapter of Soroptomist International, a service organization focused on women’s rights, is dedicating a peace garden, which the group planted around the mansion’s gazebo.
The garden is meant to bring a local awareness to issues of violence against women and children, said club member Georgia Simpson.
The garden will be a physical reminder for people to get involved in local preventative programs and organizations, she said.
Hanover Mayor Ben Adams will be present at the Aug. 15 event to read a proclamation in honor of the garden at 5:45 p.m.
