Play it Safe This Halloween...Tips to Remember

Most of us can remember Halloween as one of our favorite holidays as kids.
Didn't you just love being able to dress up as one of your favorite super heroes or cartoon characters?
Going from door to door and getting loads of candy and treats added to the joy of the evening.

Fast forward...

Today Halloween is somewhat different. Unfortunately, there are many opportunistic, unstable people who use this day to dress up in disguise and commit crimes and cause real-life "horrors."

Don't be a needless victim.
Be careful of your surroundings. When possible, walk in crowds in well-lit areas.
Don't carry more than you have to.
And don't open your doors and give access to just anyone.
Better safe than sorry.

Wishing you a day filled with lots of treats and treasures!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ...FROM OUR DOOR TO YOURS!

Domestic Violence Awareness Continues...

Chances are, even if you've not been impacted by Domestic Violence personally, you know someone who has. Domestic violence impacts individuals of all races, religions, educational backgrounds, and ages. Which is why we at IMGF are devoting this month, (and related activities) to increasing awareness, and providing local and national resources to those in need.

If you or someone you know is a victim, know that help is available.
You don't have to suffer in silence. Don't let shame or fear keep you from the life you desire and deserve.

Reach out to the various community, law enforcement agencies, and online organizations dedicated to helping those in need.
Break the cycle. Break the silence.

OCTOBER IS DOMESTICE VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH!

                             OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

Domestic violence awareness month gives us an open opportunity to talk about the issue of relationship violence in our community.

This is the time to learn about a resource for someone who might need that information one day. It is a time to learn more about a crime that either kills or seriously injures thousands of women and children in our country each year.

Domestic violence, relationship violence, family violence; are all avoidable. You can make a choice not to abuse, you can make a choice to not continue to live with abuse.
You can choose to save your life and the life of your child. Choose not to be humiliated by someone who claims they love you; and are treating you this way for your own good!

There is nothing good about abuse in a relationship, any type of abuse; physical, verbal, child abuse, emotional abuse, sexual, financial, LGBT abuse.......sadly the list can go on and on.

Domestic abuse is the most under reported crime in America, and with more resources available for victims than ever before, there are more reported cases of abuse than ever before in the history of our country.

But we can stop domestic violence it if we take a stand; say enough NO MORE ABUSE--please don't look away when you know someone is being abused. Let's make a choice to stop domestic violence.
