Anniversary of a sad event
On the anniversary of a sad event, next step staff in Machias managed to create a beautiful and touching memorial. On Feb. 23 staff (led by volunteer coordinator Carrie Callahan) worked with the family of Katie Cabana to commemorate the sad passing of another year since Katie and her friend Aaron Settipani were murdered by Richard Widdecombe Jr. in Marshfield, Maine.
The "Silent Witness" that represents Katie Cabana was unveiled at this event which was held at the Performing Arts Center of U Maine, Machias. Several other Silent Witnesses were displayed as well. The Silent Witness Initiative is a national endeavor in which female victims of domestic violence homicides are represented by lifesized, red sillouettes. The witnesses may be displayed in a variety of community settings in order to educate the public about the reality and the impact of domestic violence homicides. Information about the Silent Witnesses is available on their website: http://www.silentwitness.net/index.htm
