Rotary clubs in the northwest metro are partnering with the Rogers Police Department to fund a new regional sexual and physical assault forensic interview center. (video tour) The goal is to provide equitable access to essential services for families throughout Hennepin County and beyond in a Rogers satellite location. These services are currently provided through CornerHouse at its only location, next to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. Caring for abused youth requires prosecutors, law enforcement, child and adult protection workers, trained forensic investigators, victim advocates, mental health providers and specially trained medical doctors and staff.Helping fund the new center and its staff, Rogers Rotary is sponsoring a major music event on April 15 at the new Rogers HS Performing Arts Center. A Night of Hope and Healing headliners are the acclaimed Jiselle McCollam Jazz Group and internationally renowned bluegrass group, Monroe Crossing. Tickets are available online.
