PINWHEELS OF PREVENTION — GFWC/Miosac Club members, from left, Pat Jones, Minnie McCormick and Vicki Moschella place pinwheels at the Dover-Foxcroft United Methodist Church in observance of Prevent Child Abuse America.

Domestic violence awareness is the signature project of General Federation of Women’s Clubs. April is Prevent Child Abuse America Month and other federated clubs have been observing throughout the country.

Club members purchase pinwheels each year and they keep them all and add new ones in the spring. This is the fifth year the club has been observing Prevent Child Abuse America. The first year club members put pinwheels in several locations and later decided to put everything in one place to make the display more prominent.

Following the placement, participants went to Dunkin Donuts for fellowship and to talk about the project and future programs.
