October is Domestic Violence ACTION Month (often abbreviated as DVAM), and the CARE Program has a lot of activities planned to raise awareness of domestic violence within our community, break the silence, and continue the conversation to bring an END domestic violence here and everywhere. Throughout the month we will have purple lights and ribbons displayed in businesses and other buildings throughout Siletz. We also ask the community members to wear purple ribbons on their shirts and display purple ribbons on their cars. If you run into someone who asks about the ribbon, take that opportunity to spread the word about domestic violence awareness and help break the silence around talking about it. On Friday, October 10th the Siletz Valley Schools football team will be sporting purple socks during their home game to show support for DVAM. Community members are encouraged to come out and show their support for the team — anyone wearing purple will be entered into a raffle! The CARE Program will also be handing out fun goodies and sharing information about DVAM. We also have a Thirty-One fundraiser and a family BINGO night, along with other fun activities throughout the month. “Like” the Siletz CARE Program on Facebook to find out about all of our different events and see facts and trivia about domestic violence.
