May 2011 Monthly Meeting
May 4, 2011
At this month’s meeting, we started out by sharing our feelings about the death of Bin Laden…what the celebrations might reveal about society’s mindset, in addition to the messages that it sends to our youth and the world in general. We also discussed and reviewed our participation in Crime Victims week events, our meeting with CURE, the Walk a Mile benefit, HVCC Restorative Justice teaching day and the Parallel Justice lecture by Susan Herman. Two members discussed their restorative paths of healing from sexual assault…similarities and differences. A new member to FFHV discussed her current PhD studies and views on the psychological end of victimization and forgiveness. We also all got sidetracked talking about water quality and the dangers of using plastic drinking bottles!
