California’s rape and sexual battery laws have a 10-year statute of limitations, and minors have until they are 28 to report the assaults. That time is ridiculously short. The statute of limitations on sexual assaults should be eliminated.

Please join us for a panel discussion on sexual harassment and violence and the impact of the #MeToo Movement. Wednesday, March 14, 7-9pm at the Davis Branch Library; Blanchard Room.

I'd like to wrap up the day by doing a 10-minute overview of what other communities across the U.S. are doing, and then issue a challenge to the conference participants to make Yolo County the first trauma-informed county in California. What do you think?

I really like your idea of the wrap up Jane. Only wonder if ten minutes will be enough?

Maybe we use the 4:30-5 pm for my short presentation, and then ask for ideas from the participants, set the next meetup date....maybe that one will be more formal???? What do y'all think?

I added Cherie Schroeder's layout to the end. Don't worry about the text in there...it's the original. Just OK the layout. And once we get the text set, then Cherie, will you copy and paste and send a version to Gail, so that she can print it out for her meeting on Wednesday? I can send a version to Shaunda for the Feb 4-5 workshops. -- J.

I think we should change it to "registration optional" because most years had people who wanted to register even though they didn't want CEU's. They mailed in the registration form even though it said "no registration". When I told them they didn't need to, they always explained that they wanted to make sure they had a seat reserved. What do you think?

I started the process for Alliant University to sponsor the CEU's.

Something very important: we are required to put the IVAT logo on all marketing materials. I put it on my version of the flyer, in the bottom corner, and changed the bottom line to "Co-sponsors include Yolo County CASA and IVAT" followed by the logo.

Here is the pdf for the flyer I am using for now. It has the IVAT logo on it. Save the Date April 5 ISSB draft
