DV Awareness???? No Clear Bell???



Well, it is almost October again and everyone is getting hyped about Domestic Violence prevention activities. These are dedicated, well-intentioned people, intent on helping victims avoid and escape abusive relationships, stopping the growth of abuse and making the public aware of how they can help.

When it is over and you look around, you see that things seem to settle back into the same old routine! People go about their business and often they hear nothing more until next year

I have the image of this huge bell busily swinging back and forth all year long and people watching it and admiring the bell. But, in my mind I see people looking and walking away or not even looking up. Closer inspection reveals there is no clangor in the bell. It swings daily and never issues a sound.

How do we put a clangor in the bell, so its peal will be ever present in our communities?

That is the Fix the Hurt Dream! We are working to bring the wonderful message that Domestic Violence, the Musical? delivers, and developing other performing arts programs that will appeal to agencies and groups across the nation.

Our upcoming performances include 11 performances in October and 1 in November of this year. You can check the website at http://www.fixthehurtpag.org/.

Soon you will see changes in our website, the two, http://www.fixthehurtpag.org/ and http://www.fixthehurt.org/, will join into one and be more powerful than ever.
