The Women’s Resource Center and the Marian Community Hospital are cosponsoring an exhibition of the memorial art exhibit, An Empty Place at the Table, to recognize National Nurses’ Day in May. Area domestic violence homicide victims are remembered by family, friends, and local domestic violence advocates through a memorial art exhibit, An Empty Place at the Table. Approximately every third day in the United States, a person is killed in an act of domestic violence, typically by her current or former spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, or family member. The murder leaves an empty place at the family’s table, in the workplace, in the faith community, and the community as a whole. The Women’s Resource Center began the memorial art exhibit in 1993 to recognize the lives lost within Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties due to domestic violence. Family members and friends honor their loved one through a dinner place setting and accompanying personal items to reflect the personality and interests of the victim. An Empty Place at the Table seeks to remember individual women and children, to increase the understanding of the deadliness of domestic violence, and to call upon individuals and communities to work to end domestic violence. An Empty Place at the Table memorial art exhibit will be on display at the Marian Community Hospital’s Marian Hall, 141 Salem Avenue, Carbondale on Tuesday, May 16, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday, May 17, 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to the public. For further information on the event, contact WRC at 346–4460, ext. 242 or Marian Community Hospital at 281–5381. Services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence are free and confidential. If you or someone you know needs help, call 24 hours a day (570) 346–3460 or (800) 257–5765.

The Harford Fairgrounds are reserved for September 9 and 10 for the event. Planning meetings are scheduled for the third Monday of each month. This month’s meeting is scheduled for May 15 at Old Mill Village in New Milford starting at 7:00 p.m. The committee is looking for volunteers that are enthusiastic and with fresh ideas about what the festival should represent. They should be willing to attend most of the planning meetings and are asked to assist at the festival as well. The festival will include raw and processed fibers, yarn, clothing, spinning and weaving supplies, fiber arts and crafts, sheep skin products, and more. There will be vendors, exhibitors, animals, workshops and competitions. Potential vendors from throughout the Northeastern United States have been contacted. The goal is to have 100 exhibitors participating in the festival.
