A Party with a Purpose
For the fourth year in a row, V-Day 4thU is staging a series of events to raise money for the cause of ending violence against women and girls. First will be a party with a purpose, a Valentine’s Day Party for V-Day at the church on Monday, Feb. 13. This free event begins at 6 pm. The party aspect offers live music, catered appetizers, a cash bar and festive holiday decorations in the sanctuary. The purpose part features a presentation from guest speaker Judy Norsigian, executive director of Our Bodies Ourselves and author of the book of the same name. Ms. Norsigian has been one of the leading experts on women’s health movement for 40 years.
Also featured with be presentations from Men Can Stop Rape and the Center Against Domestic Violence. Both groups provide education and advocacy services to end violence against the female half of the human race. These two organizations are the beneficiaries of V-Day 4thU’s fundraising in 2012. They also benefitted from the group’s efforts in 2011 when nearly $20,000 was raised.
All members and friends of Fourth U are invited to attend this free event to learn more about how they can support the cause. Please register in advance at http://4thuvdayvalentinesparty.eventbrite.com. Registration is important so that refreshments are adequate for the number of guests. V-Day 4thU may work miracles but so far has been unable to do the “loaves and fishes” number.
