Duluth Model News
Duluth celebrates February 13, 2014 as Michael Paymar Day 

The weather outside was frightful, but the Greysolon Ballroom was decked out in Valentines red on Thursday, February 13, 2014. More than 200 people braved the snowstorm to celebrate and thank Michael Paymar for his more than 30 years of activism to end violence against women.  His work as a co-founder and trainer with DAIP, and as a state legislator has helped to effect significant changes in our society and in how the criminal justice system works to hold offenders accountable and keep victims safe, not only here in Minnesota, but worldwide! Sponsors of the luncheon were Essentia Health, Hanft Fride, US Bank, North Shore Bank, Republic Bank, Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans, and the Sheraton Duluth Hotel. They along with donors in attendance showed their appreciation for Michael by giving more than $14,000 to support the ongoing work of DAIP. Thank you! To see more pictures, go to DAIP Facebook page.
