Silhouettes representing victims of Domestic Violence – Tim Dustrude photo
Here’s a note from Richard Low with DVSAS…
Have you seen the silhouettes on the SJC Courthouse lawn? Those silhouettes represent all the men and women who were killed in Washington State this past year due to domestic violence. Each person’s life ended at the hands of someone they once trusted. Some were bystanders. Some were mothers, brothers, fathers, war veterans, or teenagers. All were loved by someone. Please walk among them and read their stories. A visitor’s log is provided for you to write your thoughts.
The Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of the San Juans is hosting two events on San Juan Island this month:
- Friday, October 23rd, 12:00 to 1:00 pm, SJC Courthouse lawn: Vigil for those who lost their lives and those who are living with domestic violence. Men, women, and children are welcome. Meet your Advocates, including our newest Advocate, Richard, who organizes a group of “Stand Up Men” on San Juan Island.
- Friday, October 30th, 5:00 to 7:00 pm, Presbyterian Church: Mexican tamale fiesta dinner helping to raise funds to support DVSAS services. Tickets purchased at the door and prices are $20.00 for adults / $10.00 for kids.
If you or a loved one is in an abusive relationship, there is help. Call our 24-Hour Crisis Line: 378-2345
