Domestic Violence Event
October 24 Benefit to Support Victims of Domestic Violence
Event - Marty investigated the murder of Mabel Greineder in 1999 and co-authored a book about the case, “A Murder in Wellesley: The Inside Story of an Ivy-League Doctor's Double Life, His Slain Wife, and the Trial That Gripped the Nation.”
On October 24, the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley will sponsor “A Boost for Hope: Supporting Victims of Domestic Violence,” at the Westford Regency Inn & Conference Center. The program will feature Marty Foley, who retired from the Massachusetts State Police in 2007, as the keynote speaker. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Domestic Violence Services Network (DVSN) “Lawyer for a Day” program to provide pro bono legal services to victims of domestic violence.
“Domestic violence happens everywhere, including in affluent communities,” said Laura Spear, President of the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley. “This program builds upon an event that we held last year. Not only do we want to increase awareness of domestic violence, we want to provide direct assistance to victims who often don’t have the resources to take legal action and reclaim their lives.”
The cost is $25, which includes a buffet dinner and a donation to DVSN. Registration and cocktails will be from 5:30 to 6:30 PM with dinner and the presentation starting at 6:30. There will also be a silent auction to benefit DVSN. To RSVP for the event, contact info@nashobarotary.org or Laura Spear at 978-562-4521.
