Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence
May 2007 Newsletter

Greetings!

The mission of Women's Resource Center to End Domestic Violence is to create a society where domestic violence no longer exists. We strive to meet the needs of battered women and their children while working toward changing the systems that uphold violence. Our foundation lies in the empowerment of all women.

  • Calling Good Men!

    Each year, WRC offers men the opportunity to stand up against violence and to impact the lives of survivors through our Father's Day Campaign. On Sunday, June 17th, WRC will run its 6th annual full- page ad in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution under the heading "It Takes a Man to Stop Domestic Violence. The men listed below are proud to state that they will not tolerate domestic violence in their community." This is a public opportunity for men to make a statement against abuse and to communicate to other men that violence against women is unthinkable. Women may also honor a non-abusive man in their lives by sending a gift in his name. Participants and businesses are asked to send their name as they would like it to appear in the ad, or the name of the man they would like to honor, along with a $100, $250, $500, or $1,000 contribution to WRC Father's Day Campaign, P.O. Box 171, Decatur, GA 3003 no later than June 1, 2007.

    Snapshots Takes the Stage

    Inspired by "The Stories" by Kim Frndak, WRC's Community Educator, Snapshots brings to life the true experiences of women who have come through the doors of WRC over the last 20 years. Patricia Henritze brings "The Stories" to the stage in this original production capturing domestic violence survivors' search for peace, safety, love, and validation.
