Oh hello, October!
Posted by rohdenburg.k in Arts and Culture, Movies, People in Your Neighborhood, UVOctober is just around the corner. October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
And since I have a vested interest in raising awareness about domestic violence (as should we all) as well as the password to get into this blog, I will use my power for good.
Check out the upcoming events in the community, then attend said events, raise your (and a friend’s!) awareness, and support a cause that counts!
