Every now and then we like to add up the work we do in the Washington County community. Usually we have little time to evaluate the quantity and quality of our work. While we are surprised by the quantity of what we are involved in within our community, we leave it up to others to judge the level of quality of our work. Nevertheless, we are pretty proud of what we do, and we thought we'd share the summary we came up with as we enter the year 2013. This poster below is the awareness campaign for Domestic Violence Awareness Month created by the Coordinate Community Response team for Washington County which was distributed in towns throughout the county.
