Past Galas:

2016 – A Night To Remember

This years spring gala was a huge success, held on May 14, 2016 at the beautiful R Ranch in Dahlonega GA

Guests came dressed to impress and enjoyed an evening of dinner, dancing, silent & live auction all while raising much-needed funds for a great cause!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Angel Award Recipients-2016:

Betty’s ongoing support and gracious generosity has allowed NOA to accomplish so many things this past year, we have been able to purchase a transport van for shelter residents, update and remodel

many of the rooms at our emergency shelter,and add a children’s therapy and play room.  She has been our number one supporter for over 15 years. We consider Betty Dunn our NOA angel.

 

 

This year NOA assisted 116 victims and their families with Legal Advocacy and Protective Orders.

With limited legal grant funds it is a challenge to retain attorneys for all of our clients. Al has been working hand in hand with

NOA for 14 years in providing those important services.  He has represented countless clients over the years in a professional,ethical and knowledgeable manner. As a result of his commendable dedication to our program, he has contributed many hours of Pro Bono legal assistance which is very much appreciated, not only by NOA, but by our clients as well.

 

 

 

 

Bob has been helping NOA with various projects since 2009, he generously shares his 25 years of experience as

a high rise construction project manager and civil engineer with us.  His time meeting with us, consulting, coordinating,

communicating with the city and county officials and inspectors and advising us on shelter renovation decisions

has been invaluable.
