Monday, October 06, 2008 10:39 AM 'Take Back the Night' march slated Tuesday By Stephanie Creech Daily Times Senior Writer Members of the Wilson community are invited to join Barton College faculty, staff, and students for the annual "Take Back the Night" march Tuesday. The event is cosponsored by the Counseling Services Center and Office of the Chaplain at Barton College and the Wesley Shelter of Wilson. "Take Back the Night" is an annual program meant to raise awareness about domestic violence. The Rev. Hollie Woodruff, Barton's chaplain, will conduct a service of healing at 11 a.m. in the Hackney Worship Center, which is located in the lower level of Hackney Hall. At 6 p.m., participants will gather at the fountain in front of Hamlin Student Center for a candlelight vigil. The vigil, protesting violence in homes and in schools, will begin with remarks by faculty, staff and students of the college followed by a musical interpretation by the college's dance team. As candles are lit, names of people will be read who have lost their lives this year as a result of domestic violence. With light sticks in hand, participants will walk around the perimeter of the campus and return to Hamlin Student Center for refreshments and an opportunity to visit the "Take Back the Night" information table. The event is open to the public at no charge, and the community is encouraged to attend. For more information, contact Courtney Manning, director of counseling at Barton College at 252-399-6587.
