April 8th - next Raleigh NOW meeting at 7pm
(Changed the date because April 1st is Wake County School's Spring Break)
We'll have a speaker from Interact come at 7:30 to tell us about the need for the new abused women's shelter and the new facilities (going from 18 beds to 45 beds). At our June meeting, we will do a shelter shower for Interact.

Our speaker is Ashley Soublet, Development Officer at Interact. Ashley is coordating the shower project for Interact, so we're lucky to have her. Please come to learn more about Interact's new facility, and the new programs they are developing to help end domestic violence for all families. And you can learn how Raleigh NOW can be a part of these efforts, demonstrating our support for Interact, the work they do and for the women who are taking steps to break out of the cycle of violence.
