Prevention Thru Education

In June, Paumanok Chapter 85 received a $5,000.00 completive grant for our project “Prevention thru Education”. $2,000.00 was spent on educational text books and $992.50 was spent on movie media. These much needed educational materials were purchased for the staff of Suffolk County Coalition Against Domestic Violence (SCCADV). $2,000.00 was spent on brochures to be distributed to the public. On July 19, 2007 Chapter members spent a day of domestic violence training led by Ms. Staub of SCCADV. After the training session, 1/3 of the text books and movie media were presented to the Coalition. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and our chapter looks forward to assisting SCCADV in educating the public on the issue of Domestic Violence.
