Chez-Vous Roller Skating Rink a very important landmark in the Dorchester area, this establishment has been owned, and managed by Greer Toney since 1988. P.E.A.C.E. (Positive, Energy, Always, Causes, Elevation) was created by Greer Toney, and promoter Keri Singleton as an opportunity for local youth to be both entertained and positively influenced by recording artists.
The main purpose is to maintain a safe, peaceful, and loving environment for the youth to stay off the streets, especially in the summer when children are out of school with limited opportunities, and places to go. Providing an intimate, and nurturing setting for the youth, and families in the community. The theme of the showcases is positive, and focuses entirely on the upward mobility of the community surrounding Chez-Vous. Their goal is to showcase talented upcoming artist, and provide a venue as a safe haven for fun and creativity.
Chez-Vous want to be viewed as a peaceful environment where families are educated on the values of staying in school, and the hope of relaying the message "Stop The Violence, and Keeping The P.E.A.C.E".
Their goals are to promote peace, and non-violence awareness to the community, and foster a place for the youth, and their families to come to. Every Friday night from 8-12 pm through out the summer some of the hottest recording artists such as Travis Porter, Diggy Simmons, and Lloyd who are confirmed to perform at the venue. They are also planning to have DJ contests, possibly skating contest's, and talent shows which will provide local talent the opportunity meet with management staff at Chez-Vous, and showcase their talent and skills for a chance to perform with a featured artist.
Coming together, and supporting the community is very important to Greer Toney and Keri Singleton so they are reaching out to local agencies to obtain speakers for these events. They want members of the community to get more involved, and provide words of wisdom and encouragement. They would also like the featured artists to speak out to the youth at the events. Support is the key word for successful, safe community events, and that is why the Boston Police Department, the Mayor's Office and TOUCH 106.1 FM are alliances for these type of events. To keep providing events like these for the youth, Chez-Vous can only hope that more people come forward, to help them achieve their goals, and vision of P.E.A.C.E. night.
Tomorrow night June 3, 2011 major recording artist Mishon will be performing at Chez-Vous along with Lilah, Jakkpot, and other local talent. Mishon is known for his role as Taylor Sutton on the ABC series Lincoln Heights. He has also appeared on Soul Train and America's Most Talented Kid.
