H uJ \Z, <br />July 22, 2013 <br />Mr. Dallas Larson, City Administrator <br />1880 Main St. <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br />Dear Mr. Larson , <br />763-780-2332 <br />763-780-2330 <br />x 763-780-9696 <br />wwvv,AlexandraHouse.org <br />P.O. Box 49039 <br />Blaine, MN 55449-0039 <br />Every year throughout the country, October is officially recognized as Domestic Violence <br />Awareness Month. Counties and cities all over the US take the opportunity to honor this <br />month through an official proclamation. In choosing to locally proclaim October as DVAM, <br />the City of Centerville shows its recognition of both the gravity of the problem and the <br />importance of the ongoing work to create a violence -free community in Anoka County. <br />Your city's proclamation will add to the chorus of voices insisting that women, men, and <br />children all have a right to seek peace and safety in their lives. <br />Alexandra House is proud of its partnerships with all the communities throughout Anoka <br />County. In this spirit, we will display all proclamations at our annual Walk for Hope: Steps <br />to End Domestic and Sexual Violence on Saturday, September 2811 at Bunker Hills Regional <br />Park in Andover. This event, attended by over 500 participants every year, challenges our <br />community to confront the impact of domestic and sexual violence. Additionally, it <br />provides a space for survivors, family members, friends, and allies to honor those who have <br />lost their lives as a result of domestic violence. Following the Walk for Hope, the <br />proclamations will be prominently displayed at Alexandra House. <br />Please contact our Community Education Coordinator, Krysta Sather at 763-795-5452 or <br />ksather@alexandrahouse.org if you have any questions regarding this request. Also <br />enclosed for your reference is a sample you maywish to use to compose your <br />proclamation. Thank you for your consideration and support of this important cause. <br />Sincerely, <br />Connie Moore <br />Executive Director <br />Enclosure <br />Cc: Mayor Thomas Wil harber <br />12 <br />
