When Push Comes to Shove

Did you know that one in every three women has been abused worldwide? And that 3 women a day are murdered by their significant other?

Accord Services of Allegany County offers a domestic abuse shelter for abused women; they also

provide services to help women get past these traumatic experiences and on to living a fulfilled and productive life at no cost.

In collaboration with Alfred University and the Women's Leadership Academy, a series of events called

"When push comes to Shove" will take place to educate the community more about domestic violence and relational abuse. On Friday, March 25 there will be a "packed picnic basket" silent auction to raise money for Accord's domestic violence services. I'm requesting that students, faculty, clubs, and any individual interested assist with creating a picnic basket to be auctioned off. These baskets can be themed, or they can be a collection of a few things.

The auction which will take place in the Knight Club in the Powell Campus Center on Alfred University's campus from noon-5 p.m. on Friday March 25. This is a great opportunity for you to support an important cause!

Please take the time to look at the flyer for the series of events that are happening.

Wednesday, March 23 there will be a movie in the WLC at 7 p.m.

Thursday, March 24 there will be a panel of speakers from Allegany County's Victim Response Team giving a lecture about relationship abuse.

Friday, March 25 there will be a packed picnic auction to raise money for Accords domestic violence services.

Please come and bid on some baskets even if you don't make one. (You can even charge to your student account).

I really hope that you will take this opportunity to stand up against abusive relationships and support the community. Please feel free to contact Lindsay Warnes with any questions at [email protected].
