Alexandra <br />House, Inc. would be honored if you would sponsor an official proclamation <br />recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Your <br />proclamation would officially recognize both the gravity of the problem and <br />the importance of the ongoing work to create a violence-free community in <br />Anoka County. Your proclamation would also emphasize the City of <br />Centerville's local efforts to end domestic violence. I have enclosed a <br />sample you may wish to use to compose your proclamation. <br /> <br />We will display all proclamations at our annual Walk/or Hope: Steps to End <br />Domestic Violence on Saturday, October 11 at Bunker Hills Regional Park in <br />Andover. We hope that this event will raise awareness of domestic violence <br />and bring more of our community together in public opposition to domestic <br />violence. This year we will focus on the theme "walk in my shoes" as we <br />acknowledge the impact domestic violence has on everyone in our <br />community. We will also honor those who have lost their lives to domestic <br />violence, those who have survived and those who continue their struggle. <br />After the Walk/or Hope is completed, we will display the proclamations at <br />Alexandra House. <br /> <br />Please contact our Community Education Coordinator, Zeb Henderson <br />Shreve at (763) 780-2332 if you have any questions regarding this request. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~?n~ <br /> <br />Connie Moore <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />Enclosure <br />Cc: Dallas Larson <br /> <br />\0(, <br />
