Domestic Violence is a huge problem not only in the Rockford area but all across our country. Plan to join us and learn about this problem and what Remedies is doing to try and combat it. This will be an interesting and informative program and one to bring a guest or prospective member to join us in person at Memorial Hall or via Zoom.
