The Beginning Over Foundation will feature a short film, silent witness exhibit, speakers, information and light refreshments on Thursday, March 6, at 7 PM at the Emmaus Fire House, 100 North Sixth Street, Emmaus, PA.
A fifteen minute film, “Something My Father Would Do,” will be followed by several speakers, including Assistant DA Jacqueline M. Taschner, the spearhead of Northampton County's domestic violence unit. A silent witness exhibit, life size silhouettes representing specific victims of domestic violence in Pennsylvania, will also be on display throughout the night.
“Residents in every community need to be educated on the issues of domestic abuse,” says Heidi Markow, founder of Beginning Over Foundation. She adds, “People need to feel the same way about domestic violence as they do with about convicted sexual predators. Families need to be protected from repeat offenders, and children need to be protected from parents if they are convicted domestic violence felons.”

Gee, perhaps Emmaus' favorite son, State Rep. Doug Reichley will attend, and share his first hand experience dealing with domestic abuse from his time as a district Attorney.
why remain anonymous? are you another one who condones murder?, or do you just have your own agenda?
Anon 10:57, Someone was taking a cheap shot at reichley. It has nothing to do with the Emmaus event.
