John and Catherine will have laptops available this week and next (Aug 11 and Aug 18) to update your photo and contact info in Clubrunner in preparation for a print directory, the first one in over 10 years! 

 

 

You may also update all of your info yourself by logging into Clubrunner or email info & a photo to CatherineRB@yahoo.com for assistance.

This past weekend was the district Youth Exchange conference. It went very well according to our outbound students.

Resilience identifies its mission to respond, reduce, and prevent sexual abuse. Beth Curley, Sexual Assault Program Coordinator, talked to us about the respond part. Beth is a forensic nurse and heads up the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) team. The team includes a full time Sexual Assault Survivor Advocate and 6 contracted nurses. 

 

One in four women and one in six men will be/have been sexually abused. The Resilience SANE team works with 57 cases a year, mostly women. About 1/3 of the victims are 13-18 years old. In 80% of sexual assaults the perpetrator is known by the victim.
