problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide.
See this list of videos on YouTube. View this Google Image Search,” according to
http://www.clotheslineproject.org/. Virginia Wesleyan has been participating in this project for a

Community Foundation to help children in our surrounding neighborhoods succeed in school.

proceeds from the fund raiser are split between the reservation and the school. It is win-win.

good authority that we know the pumpkins have excellent prices (much cheaper than at the
grocery store) and they are beautiful. Some are HUGE! DIRECTIONS: Bow Creek Preschool,
