HUSTLE.

SPRINGFIELD IT STARTS AT CITY
UTILITY AT 9 AM SATURDAY.
TRICK-OR-TREATING FOR THE KIDS.
I RECENTLY TOOK SOME PHOTOS AND
WE ARE RAISING MONEY FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON THE
HARMONY HOUSE.
ASSUMING THE HARMONY HOUSE IS
THE ONLY DOMESTIC OIL LITTLE
SHELTER.
SERVING MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN
WHO ARE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND IT'S
AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN WE WANT
TO END THE SILENCE AROUND
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND LETTING
PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE RESOURCES
THAT HARMONY HOUSE HAS
AVAILABLE IF THEY SHOULD SOUGHT
FIND THEMSELVES IN THAT
SITUATION SO WE PARTNERED WITH
HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES THEY ARE
PUTTING UP POSTERS AND FLYERS
AND WE HAVE GREAT AWARENESS
LEADERS THAT WHERE THE SYMBOLIC
BLACK EYE FOR SOME AIR TALKING
ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HARMONY
HOUSE DOES IT IS SUCH A BIG
PROBLEM.
PROBABLY EVERYWHERE BUT THIS
COMMUNITY HAS A LOT GOING ON.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU
GUYS ARE DOING.
IS THE PROBLEM GROWING?
ONE OUT OF THREE WOMEN AND
1/7 MEN WILL BE AFFECTED BY
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SO THE
CHANCES ARE HIGH.
AT SOME POINT HAVING THESE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE CASE
MANAGERS AND ADVOCATE TEAM IS
AVAILABLE AND IS SO IMPORTANT
TO OUR TEAM RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S WHY WE DO THE PURPLE
PARTY ON THE HALLOWEEN HUSTLE.
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET
INVOLVED WITH THE HALLOWEEN
HUSTLE IS IT TOO LATE?
THEY CAN SIGN UP THROUGH
SATURDAY.
THERE IS INFORMATION THERE YOU
CAN STOP BY CITY UTILITIES ON
FRIDAY FROM 7 AM UNTIL 6 PM AND
SIGN UP IN PERSON.
THERE'S LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES.
YOU HAVE A GREAT FACEBOOK
PAGE.
DO YOU HAVE TO BE A RUNNER
TO DO THIS?
WE HAVE SOME GREAT FOOTAGE
OF A PREVIOUS YEAR.
TO INCLUDE THE PEOPLE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SLOW DOWN A
LITTLE BIT IT'S GOOD BECAUSE
EVERYBODY CAN GET INVOLVED.
WE HAVE LOTS OF GREAT THINGS
AND CHARACTER SPRAY
IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO
REUSE YOUR KIDS HALLOWEEN
COSTUMES.
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT DRESSING
UP AS THEIR FAVORITE CHARACTER.
THEY CAN JUST SHOW UP AT THE
EVENT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE
RACE STARTS.
IF THEY WANT TO SHOW UP THE
RACE STARTS AT NINE BUT WE CAN
PREREGISTER EARLIER WE ARE
ASKING RENTERS TO BRING A
DONATION OF AN EMERGENCY KIT I
DON'T LIKE BAND-AIDS OR GAUZE
OR SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, IT
WILL HELP HARMONY HOUSE.
I KNOW I HAVE BEEN TO YOUR
FACILITY SEVERAL TIMES AND I'M
GLAD WE HAVE IT.
WHAT IS THE OCCUPANCY RATE?
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT'S
FULL.
SO AS THE NEED IS THERE AND WE
ARE APPRECIATIVE TO OUR
UTILITIES AND EVERYBODY
PARTICIPATING THIS MONTH TO
RAISE AN AWARENESS AND HELP US
OUT.
IT'S ABOUT AWARENESS BECAUSE
YOU HAVE TO BREAK THE CYCLE
BECAUSE WHAT THEY SEE AT HOME
IS WHAT THEY THINK LIFE IS
SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE.
THAT'S WHY WE RAISE AWARENESS
SO THEY WON'T CONTINUE THAT
INTO THEIR ADULT LIVES THAT IT
NEVER REALLY REGISTERS.
THEY DON'T LIKE THE ABUSE
BUT THEY END UP BEING THE
ABUSERS AND THEY DON'T WANT
THAT EITHER SO EDUCATION IS
REALLY IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
HALLOWEEN HUSTLE THIS SATURDAY

AND SIGN UP IT WILL BE SO MUMUCH
FUN.
