Clinton News Record, 2014-12-03, Page 1212 News Record • Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Huron Women's Shelter holds calendar launch On November 20, 2014 Huron Women's Shelter held a launch at the Duchess Room of the Bedford Hotel for a calendar entitled "Doing the Right Thing in 2015". This calendar was cre- ated to help raise awareness of the issue of violence against women. The calen- dar is meant to celebrate the many ways that all of us can support women's safety and equality, speaking up and taking action to challenge the violence that threatens women and children. Huron Women's Shelter could not continue our important work without the support of our community and the individual women and men who care about these issues. The idea to produce a calendar was the direct result of a community work- shop presented by Michael Kaufman, a well-known activist in the prevention of violence against women and the founder of the White Ribbon Campaign. We pre- sent our calendar as a part of the many activities we are engaged in to raise aware- ness of the fact that Novem- ber is Woman Abuse Aware- ness Month. As a community we value the contribution of all who work to support efforts to end violence against women. Through this calendar, we have chosen to shine the spot- light particularly on men. Men whose actions, atti- tudes and whose persona reflect and exemplify the values of respect and equality for all. Each month a man or group of men are featured in our calendar. Each man was chosen because he has applied his own unique and individualized talents and resources to enhance efforts to end violence against women. Some of our calen- dar celebrities have created or supported fund raising efforts, some of them have been great supports to us in the line of duty and some have participated in celebra- tory events within the shel- ter. Our "Calendar Men" include: January: Mike Scott, Shawn Johnson, Jeff Sabin; February: Bob Gehan; March: Seth Nichol, Matt Bell; April: Jim Hollingworth; May: Bob Morris; June: Brian Moody; July, Jeff Bonnett; David Scott; August: Scott Engel; September: Sandy Stuart; October: Allan Liv- ingston; November: Bill Anderson; and finally, December: Greg Reynolds. Huron Women's Shelter has encouraged and sup- ported community involve- ment for many years. We are grateful for the men and women in our community who generously support our work. We hope these "calendar men" will inspire others, as they have inspired us. You can purchase the calendar in Goderich at All Around The House, and The Women's Shelter. In Wing - ham at The Family Tree and in Blyth at the Blyth Festi- val. The cost 15.00.
