You are Invited to an Important Benefit Film Premier: Monterey, Carmel, Salinas area

How does one live with a secret, a secret that is shaming to your core sense of self, your sexuality? Boyhood Shadows, perhaps for the first time, will begin to let us unburden our hearts regarding this all too common phenomenon of sexual violence. All proceeds will go the Monterey County Rape Crisis Center Child Abuse Prevention Progam, a terribly important program. Do come and please contribute.

Sexual violence is a grim fact of life and I believe it is our duty as community members, to become aware of this powerful kind of violence so we may some day get beyond it. We in the Monterey County area have been blessed to have a rape crisis center that has thrived for more than 20 years, all of them under the excellent guidance of Executive Director, Clare Mounteer. If you have every worked in volunteer work, especially work as sensitive as as sexual violence, prevention and care, you know that good groups with steady leadership can be hard to find. My hat is off and my heart often touched with Clare and her team at www.mtry.rapecrisis.org

MCRCC has once again partnered with outstanding film makers, MacAVA, who made their earlier public service announcements regarding sexual violence. I will say no more and hope to see you at the OPENING SEPTEMBER 22 AT THE Steinbeck Forum of the Monterey Conference Center

Join us!
