The Highland County Board of Commissioners have proclaimed April 2014 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Highland County and urged all citizens to support the efforts of the Alternatives to Violence Center to raise awareness of sexual assault in the county.

At their Wednesday, March 26 meeting, Commissioners Jeremy Shaffer, Shane Wilkin and Tom Horst welcomed Alternatives to Violence Center Director Julie Brassel and Dara Gullette for the proclamation signing and presentation.

The proclamation helps to raise public awareness about sexual violence, support victims and encourage survivors to seek public services.

According to Brassel, the center's third annual Tea for Tweens, Teens and Queens will be 9:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 19 at the Hillsboro High School cafeteria. The event is free and open to all females ages 11 and older.

For more information on the tea or services that AVC provides, contact the Hillsboro office at (937) 393-8118 or go to http://www.avconline.us.
