October is the month of many things. First and foremost Fall color begins to move our way. Of course it will not be Fall until November here, but Fall tradition originates from the Northeastern states. It is an important month for observances, from Halloween to special organization recognitions. Of special significance to IndianSpringsGuy in this month will be the activities related to Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It is also Crime Prevention Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Country Music Month, Hispanic Appreciation Month, and many others. For a complete list, I recommend ButlerWebs.com.
Domestic violence is something everyone should contemplate. Many people are victims, fewer but many are abusers, and the issue exists everywhere you go. Your neighbor may be impacted by this terrible behavioral and criminal issue. The problem may exist in your family. Wherever or however, we all should be aware of its presence among us and help to eradicate it from our society.
During this month, we will see several local events conducted in the spirit for the recognition of domestic violence in our community and the need to fight it. We also will see people asking for support for the victims and initiatives to educate the public on what domestic violence is and what services are available to victims. Below are the main events of the month hosted by The Women's Center of Montgomery County.
1. October 17 at 9:00 AM (Saturday) - Use your voice, make a choice Teen Conference. Free educational program sponsored by Baker Hughes.
2. Oct 11, 2:00 PM at Market Street (Sunday) "A Real Man March" otherwise known as "Walk a Mile in her shoes" - this is a serious but fun event primarily sponsored by Verizon. Note the red high heels of the guys.
