25th Annual Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Domestic Abuse in Somerset County

The Resource Center of Somerset commemorates people affected by domestic
abuse in Somerset County with our annual Candlelight Vigil; to mourn
those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrate those who
have survived and mark appreciation for those who advocate to end
violence.  Following a brief presentation from our guest speakers and a
survivor of domestic abuse, a solemn procession is led by the Resource
Center Board of Trustees to the municipal complex courtyard.  We read
the names and honor the memory of those who have suffered the ultimate
sacrifice at the hands of their abuser.

Guest Speakers:
Christine Schaumburg - Executive Director, Resource Center of Somerset
Mayor Daniel Hayes - Bridgewater Township
Sheila Breeding - Allstate Insurance New Jersey
Sally Nadler - PSE&G
Assemblywoman Donna Simon
