Octoberfest is coming! Dave De Luz shares with us the goods ready for purchase

For this weeks vocational speaker, our fellow Rotarian Lorraine Davis shared with us about YWCA's support for victim of assault

Birthday duo! Miyuki Lee and Steve Jacunski was celebrated by Rotarians this morning

Quote of the day:

"When you encounter various trials, big or small, be full of joy. There's opportunity to learn patience"

- Scott Curran

Lorraine Davis was this week's vocational speaker with a timely and important topic. Lorraine had been recently quoted in the Hawaii Tribune Herald regarding a Company that had been selling a rape evidence collection kit on Amazon.com. https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2019/09/13/hawaii-news/state-dont-buy-rape-kit/

In Hawaii, it is not necessary for the victim of an assault to purchase and process their own evidence, since the law provides for a forensic examination by an accredited professional at no charge to the victim. The resulting work product is then handed over to law enforcement with a solid chain of custody, again all at no cost to the victim. Gathering and submitting evidence any other way only increases the chance that a defendant will have the case dismissed or be exonerated on a technicality as the defense need only raise reasonable doubt.

Lorraine explained that too frequently, victims of assault are not shown enough compassion and are sometimes even blamed for causing or contributing to the crimes committed against them. She pointed out that we collectively need to be aware of the three types of natural reactions to an assault: fight, flight and freezing (playing dead). Each victim reacts differently and should not be judged based on the outcome from their natural reaction. What is wrong is the assault itself not the victim's reaction to it.

On Saturday, October 26, 2019, YWCA of Hawaii island will hold the annual "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" event in order to raise $25,000 to provide services for survivors of sexual assault. https://www.ywcahawaiiisland.org/wp-content/uploads/2019-WAM-Flyer.pdf
