South Fulton

residents will descend en masse this Saturday in Aviation Park to celebrate

Victory over Violence.

The event

runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and takes place in Aviation Park at the

200 Building at Wendell Court.

The celebration

is a joint project of the Fulton Industrial Business Association, the

national campaign for Victory over Violence, Charitable Connections

and McLonie Networks.

Victory over

Violence emphasizes making positive life-style decisions, finding and

teaming with people who have similar values, setting an example and

gaining victory over violence in the community.

As part of

the group's celebration, volunteers are gathering Saturday to paint

walls, put in ceiling tiles and spruce up the Community Wellness and

Conference Center.

The group

is based in Atlanta and focuses on responding to the violence, destruction

and hopelessness that engulfs many youths and adults in the area.

The campaign

uses culturally safe devices to help deliver mainstream messages of

inclusion to help youths to advocate mainstream morals and fight the

tide of violence in the communities.
