October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Wear a ribbon, join the vigil!
Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services (DVSAS) and the S Club of Friday Harbor High School has planned several awareness activities:
In commemoration of Domestic Violence Awareness Month watch for purple ribbons hanging around the town and find your own small purple ribbon to wear to show your support, in little baskets at stores and coffee shops.
Watch for articles in the local news about domestic violence in our community and how you can be a part of ending family violence.
On Wednesday, October 26, at 6:00 pm. Join us at Memorial Park as we march to end the Silence about Family Violence. The S Club will lead the march up Spring St. to Second St. ending at the courthouse. At the courthouse the DVSAS will hold a vigil to commemorate all those who have lost their lives to abuse in the state of Washington last year. Sheriff Nou will speak and local vocal artist Kate Schuman will sing, poems will be read and speeches will be made.
Please join us in these events and learn how you can be a part of ending Family Violence in our community. Remember, family violence is a community problem and it is a crime.
