Hey, Leah and myself are currently working with the Crystle Closet. It is an organization where women who were abused get to go and have some sort of comfort in knowing that they are not alone and are now safe from their abusive spouse. The organization has people who help the women get new clothing, since they probably do not have any at the time. They provide services for them such as one on one counseling or group counseling. While the women/mothers are in counseling, the organization provides a room for the children to play and hang out in. There is a storage room down the street from the Crystle Closet, where all of the clothes and makeup is kept. it is now in the process of being put together so the clothes are not all over the place. they are going to be putting up shelves, so we hopefully get to go and organize all of the things so they are not scattered around. I was recently able to meet with the mayor of Peekskill, along with alot of other respected people around the area. We had a fundraiser at the Tea Room which is a building in Peekskill strictly devoted to just having tea in an older more victorian fashion. Many people came and gave donations to the Crystle Closet, while we ate, and spoke about the organization itself. Last night, February 9th, was the actual grand opening of the Crystle Closet. I did not get to attend due to my work schedule, however Leah did. I am in the process of creating a three fold brochure about domestic violence and the Crystle Closet itself. I believe that it would be a good idea to have people keep a reminder of what it is during the presentation. We will also be handing them out on campus and throughout our community. Leah and I have great ideas about the powerpoint and will soon begin to put everything together.
