Text Box: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 4/08/2004 Rogersville Hosts Hope Quilt for victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Contact Information: Gayle Crabtree Founder of Hope for Healing.Org Telephone: 252.431.1421 Henderson, NC—Hope Quilt by survivors of rape and domestic violence offers hope and reassurance to others who have been victimized. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. To commemorate, Hope for Healing.Org will be displaying the Hope Quilt on April 30 from 4-6 at the Holiday Inn Express in Rogersville. Called "a rape survivors' Vietnam Memorial" by one survivor, this small but powerful quilt contains over 150 squares representing survivors from all over the globe. Visitors will be invited to create a square to be added to the quilt and information about sexual assault will be available. Anyone who is a survivor or has supported a survivor emotionally will want to see this display. Please join us as we stand together to speak out through this project about this crime. To offset the cost of the display donations of used cell phones and used ink-jet cartridges will be accepted. More information about Hope for Healing.Org and pictures of the quilt can be found online at http://www.hopeforhealing.org Please feel free to contact us at the information above. # # #
