💜 You May Know Someone Who Needs This.

Not every family facing domestic violence knows where to turn, what resources are available, or how to help someone safely get out.

That’s why the Golden Triangle Rotary Club is bringing Eric Zarko to our September 10 meeting to talk about:

Families to Freedom — Domestic Violence Assistance

This isn't just a topic for people directly experiencing domestic violence.

It’s for the friend who gets the late-night phone call.
The coworker who notices something isn't right.
The family member who wants to help but doesn't know how.
And the people who want to roll up their sleeves and become part of the solution.

Eric will help us understand how awareness, support, and community involvement can help break the cycle and bring hope, safety, and freedom to people who need it.

And here's the thing about Rotary: we don't just talk about problems—we look for ways to make a difference.

If you've ever thought, “I wish I knew how I could help,” this is a meeting you won't want to miss.

📅 Thursday, September 10
⏰ 7:00 AM
📍 DeVivo Eatery — Keller

Come listen. Come learn. Come connect. And maybe discover one way YOU can help change someone's life.

💙 Be Vibrant. Get Involved. Make a Difference.
