Shine a Light on Domestic Violence Awareness
At the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness month we asked local
businesses to support the cause by putting purple lights up. We have had
such an amazing amount of support from our community. As you drive
through town you can see that we are truly "Shining a Light on Domestic
Violence Awareness". We don't have all the businesses pictured below
that are supporting this cause, but we will continue to post them as we
get them.
Thank you all!!!
