The Red Ladies Are In Town!
As you are driving in our community, you may
notice these silhouettes in different locations.
Each one will have a different story about a victim
of domestic, as well as promoting the upcoming
event, Walk a Mile in her Shoes.
The Walk a Mile event will be during the Mardi
Gras parade on February 18, 2012. During the
parade, we are asking MEN in leadership
positions in the county to walk the parade route in
high-heel shoes, preferably red, to help promote
the awareness of the domestic violence epidemic.
