[Ohio-talk] Want to Participate in Survey about domestic Violence?

[Marianne Denning]

Okay, then ask the presidents of all of the divisions to find someone
to check it out.  It is just another way to get the message out there.
 I know many of the chapters or divisions are all over the states and
others are local chapters.  I think we are talking about domestic
violence rather than violence that happens in a community.  Did I read
this correctly?  I know both are issues of great concern.
