Non-Profit Spotlight: Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable
Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization of men and women incorporated in 1999. The goal of the Roundtable is to raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence through community education and networking and to improve the coordination between public and private services for victims and families touched by domestic violence.
The Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable cordially invites the public to a free wine and beer tasting to support its annual Shower for Shelters. The wine and beer tasting will be held at Sudbury Wine and Spirits, Rugged Bear Plaza, 410 Boston Post Road, Sudbury on Friday evening, April 26, 2019 at 7 PM. Light refreshments will also be provided by the Roundtable.
Please bring a new, unwrapped housewarming gift to the event. Families transitioning from shelters appreciate gifts of new household items to help them establish their new homes. These generous donations will be collected and given to the clients of Reach Beyond Domestic Violence, The Second Step, and Voices Against Violence. The donations will also benefit the transitional housing and shelter programs of these agencies.
Requested items include: twin size sheets and pillowcases, twin summer blankets, twin comforters, bed pillows, crib sheets, bath towels and face cloths, unscented cleaning products and laundry detergent, laundry baskets, kitchen utensils, flatware, dishes, drinking glasses, and small kitchen appliances. Gift cards are also welcome. For a complete list of requested items, please visit the Roundtable website at www.domesticviolenceroundtable.org.
This year’s event will also include a raffle. Raffle items include a gift basket of wine and more donated by Sudbury Wine and Spirits and a basket of coffee and more donated by Starbucks of Sudbury. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event. Winners do not need to be present at the drawing to win. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to purchase additional gift cards as part of the Shower for Shelters.
Help support a safe, fun night for our students! Saturday, May 18 will be an exciting day for Wayland High School students – it is the evening of the Junior Prom. For the 21st year, Wayland High School parents and the local business community will come together to fund and support “Late Night,” a fun, supervised event for our Prom-goers and their guests immediately following the Prom. Late Night is a free, after-Prom celebration organized and chaperoned by our High School parents, designed to provide a safe and substance-free environment where classmates can be together and celebrate on Prom Night. Late Night is 100% funded by our Wayland parents and the local business community. We keep this event FREE for the kids to make their attendance as easy as possible.
REGISTRATION is required for attendance at Late Night. Please REGISTER for Late Night and DONATE at www.LateNightWHS.com. All Juniors and their guests are encouraged to participate in this FREE event regardless if they attend prom. WHS Juniors are responsible for informing their guests to register at LateNightWHS.com. We need your support so we can plan and secure the entertainment, food and activities to ensure a fun and successful event. The cost to cover all of the event expenses is estimated to be $85 per person but we appreciate any amount that gets us closer to our fundraising goal. Visit www.LateNightWHS.com to donate and for important Pre-Prom and Late Night information. Feel free to contact Lana Murphy & Sandy O’Driscoll at LateNightWHS@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to learn more. Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LateNightWHS.
Also, please consider helping with one of the many tasks involved in preparing for and running Pre-Prom and Late Night. In addition to junior parent volunteers, it is a time-honored tradition that sophomore parents run Pre-Prom and chaperone Late Night so junior parents can enjoy this special day with their child. Sophomore parents volunteer regardless if their sophomore sons/daughters are or are not attending the Prom/Late Night. Please consider volunteering for a task on www.latenightwhs.com/volunteers.
Thank you for helping us keep our kids safe on prom night by making this the ONLY party in town!
