lighttheway1Valley City  (CSi)  On October 21, 2016, Valley City residents are invited to join the “Light in the Window Campaign,” which symbolizes the community’s concern in shedding light on the devastating effects of domestic violence.

It also shows a unified commitment to make every home a safe home.

The area will include the  1200 block of 6th Avenue Northeast in Valley City.

Vicky’s Viking Room, and the Barnes County States Attorney’s Office are participating in the “Light in the Window Campaign.”

The campaign’s color is purple and  is drawn from the purple ribbon, a traditional symbol of domestic violence awareness and remembrance.

Community members who would like to show their support can purchase purple light bulbs online at  www.oogalights.com and are generally available at arts & craft stores.

Or, create luminaries made with purple bags or jars.

Light in the Window represents:

A personal commitment to fostering respectful relationships.

A unified stance that domestic violence is not acceptable in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and homes.

Hope that together we are “Lighting the Way to Peace in Our Heart, Our Homes, and the World”.

Also…

To help recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the community is invited to attend the Abused Person’s Outreach Center (APOC) Fundraiser.

The Supper & Silent Auction will be on Friday, October 21, 20166  from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at the VFW Club in Valley City.
