On September 12, The House Of Refuge held their first annual fundraiser. The
event took place at the Calvary Temple banquet room in Indianapolis and was
hosted by President Ieta Kimbrough and the Board of Directors. Pastor Chad
Temple directed the evenings proceedings. The program featured three speakers
who are not only victims of domestic violence but who are turning their personal
tragedies into real life triumphs for other hurting women.

Ms. Lianne
Sommerville, from
Coburn Place Safe Haven, spoke
about the need for more centers like THOR and shared some of the success
stories that Coburn Place has produced in the last few months.

THOR President and
CEO, Mrs. Ieta Kimbrough
hi-lighted the evenings events as the keynote speaker. Ieta shared her
personal story in an emotional description of the violence and abuse she
endured
and her subsequent victory of overcoming the pain and scars of the
experience. Ieta then shared her desire and vision to help the many other
women still entrapped in domestic violence situations.

Rounding out the evenings program was a brief theatrical
production presenting The House Of Refuge and how it intends to make an
impact in Indianapolis. |

The Board of Directors wishes to thank Calvary Temple for the use of their
facilities, Ieta's husband, David, owner of Kimbrough's Catering, for the
wonderful meal, Crystal Graves for the production and direction of the human
