Clinton Square Kickoff

Vera House White Ribbon Campaign Kickoff
By Marci Haines

The Vera House Foundation kicks-off it’s 10 day White Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness about domestic violence. The kick off took place on Friday, March 28th in Clinton Square. Despite the snow, about 100 members of the community participated in the walk, which ended in Armory Square. To conclude the walk, supporters tied white ribbons around tree trunks, lampposts and street signs to represent the motto NEVER COMMIT, CONDONE OR REMAIN SILENT ABOUT DOMESTIC OR SEXUAL VIOLENCE. Vera House is grateful for the loyal and generous support of so many regional government offices, businesses, agencies, schools and religious organizations for the annual White Ribbon Campaign.
