Join the 22nd Judicial Circuit Family Violence Coordinating Council at a Candlelight Vigil at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 13 on the Woodstock Square in downtown Woodstock. The candlelight vigil is in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and will include entertainment by Just Duet and Julie Gibson.
Anyone is welcome to show their support of Domestic Violence Awareness efforts in McHenry County. The purpose of the event is to remember those who have been hurt or who have died at the hands of someone they know. It is also to show support to those affected by domestic abuse, including survivors and family members and to call attention to the devastation that domestic abuse can cause individuals, their families, and friends. Speakers will give first-hand accounts of their experiences and musical entertainment will be provided.
Other sponsors of the candlelight vigil are: McHenry County College, Centegra Health System, McHenry County Crisis Services, Direct Counseling, McHenry County Chiefs of Police Association, McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office, VOICE Sexual Assault program, and Turning Point

The vigil will be held in rain or shine. For more information, contact Mary Denney of Turning Point, at (815) 334-4630.
