The NHCOC Women in Business group is reaching out to help rape victims. Many people don’t realize that nearly every article of clothing worn by a victim is taken for evidence in the emergency room. The WiB group is providing a 2 hour Self-Defense/Rape Prevention workshop to raise awareness and funds to purchase new clothes for the victims. The workshops are scheduled for May 21 at Molon Labe CrossFit (9100 Valley View Rd., Macedonia). You can choose from the following time slots: 10:00, 12:30 and 3:00. The cost is $20 per person. The Self-Defense workshop is provided by Endeavor Defense and Fitness. You can register at www.eventbrite.com. Type in key words CARING CLOTHES and click on the event.
