October Is Domestic Violence Month

 Every year the Colbert County Domestic Violence Response Coalition holds a number of events to raise awareness and resources for families dealing with domestic violence.

October 1st is the Annual Candlelight Vigil on the Colbert County Courthouse lawn from 6 to 7:30 pm.  This event remembers the many people who lost their lives to domestic violence in the Shoals area. Bring a lawn chair or blanket.

October 14th is the Kickstands Up for Domestic Violence Awareness Poker Scramble.  The ride starts and ends at Pavillion 4 in Spring Park, Tuscumbia.  The cost is $20 per bike and $10 per poker hand.  If it rolls, it rides.  We ride, rain or shine.  Kick stands up at 11 am.   Kick stands down at 3:00 pm.  A meal will be available at noon and a silent auction will take place until 4 pm.

Please join the CCDVRC and support these two events.
