13th Annual Melrose Run for Women a Success!

Road_Race_2010_120.jpgA huge thank you to the Melrose Running Club and congratulations to the 955 women who turned out to run or walk the 13th Annual Melrose Run for Women on Mother’s Day! Chilly, windy weather did not deter the hearty souls who participated or came to cheer them on! Photographer Richard Cohane did a great job capturing the unique spirit of the event.. see photos here. Funds raised from this event support MAAV’s violence prevention programs at the middle and high school levels, designed to stop relationship violence before it starts.

  

In Honor of Mentors & Mentees

IMG_2010.JPGCongratulations to the students and mentors in our 8th grade mentoring group, who recently completed 2 years of participation in the program. Bonds of friendship were formed through monthly group meetings and outings, mentor and mentee matches getting together on their own, and several community service projects. A celebration was held on June 21 to honor and thank everyone involved for their commitment and caring. Learn more about our Community Mentoring Program here.
