Diane Williams, President & CEO, of Jersey Battered Women's Service was the guest speaker at our February 6th club meeting. She discussed the beginning and early phase of the organization which began with a hotline to aid the victims of domestic abuse in 1976 to the current full-service, private, nonprofit domestic violence agency. Diane provided disconcerting statistics of cases of domestic abuse that occurs in Morris County each year and the many services that are offered by JBWS to assist these victims and their families.
