Outreach in Bastrop County

The OOVC has been laying the groundwork for increased outreach in Bastrop County.

We've already given presentations to ESL and citizenship classes through Advocacy Outreach of Elgin, and have another session planned later this week. We've also had an excellent meeting with the Family Crisis Center of Bastrop and, as a result, have been invited to be a member of the county-wide CCRT, Bastrop's equivalent of a domestic violence task force. PAPA will be speaking about its programs and services at that meeting on February 7, 2008. The OOVC also made trips to Giddings and La Grange, other cities where the Family Crisis Center has offices.

December Meeting of the SSDVTF

Though bad weather resulted in relatively low attendance, the December meeting of the San Saba Domestic Violence Task Force got some excellent work done. Members are active and involved, vocal and energetic. Pictured from left to right are: Georgia Harris (Dove Project), Dee Vickery (Off the Beaten Path Ministries), Kathy Dixon (District Attorney's Office, Thirty-Third Judicial District), Allen Brown (San Saba Police Department) and, not shown, Brenna Troncoso (Political Asylum Project of Austin).
