Take a Stand
Lee Douglas, chair of our Father's Day Campaign
This June, Lee Douglas, president of LD Consulting & Development Group, and former Executive VP for the Atlanta Hawks, asks you to stand with him as a man against domestic violence.
 
Already standing are Attorney General Thurbert Baker, the Decatur Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Dr. Jim Braude, and Jim Breedlove, all of whom participated in our PSA directed at men that will air this month on WSB Channel 2. Will you be the next voice added to our chorus?
 
For the 7th year, on Father's Day Sunday, Women's Resource Center will have an ad in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution under the heading "The men listed below are proud to state that they will not tolerate domestic violence in their community."  Lee Douglas, our 2008 campaign chair, is targeting men who are willing to speak out against violence and make a restorative contribution to women and children who are rebuilding their lives.  Women may give in honor of or in memory of a gentle man from her life.

Champions for Change was a success!
 
Marian Camp with her motorcycle helmetThank you to everyone who attended our 2008 Champions for Change luncheon and silent auction.  We are still totaling up your generous donations, but would like to thank the many individuals who purchased tickets and auction items, hosted a table, or made a financial contribution at the event.  We're well on our way toward our goal of providing more intensive services to more women and families this year than ever before!
