C. 27514 <br /> Dear Ms. Marshall; <br /> As a member of the board of the Orange County Rape Crisis <br /> Center, I am writing to ask for your support of the center' s <br /> upcoming budget request to Orange County. The center offers <br /> a full range of services to victims of rape and sexual <br /> assault as well as providing community education programs on <br /> rape/sexual assault and child sexual abuse awareness and <br /> prevention, As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I am <br /> acutely aware of the scars left behind by sexual abuse and <br /> assault and the importance of immediate services for victims <br /> and their families. The staff and volunteers of the Rape <br /> Crisis Center have impressed me with their expertise and <br /> dedication. The center provides a wide array of services to <br /> the community for a small dollar figure because of the hard <br /> work of unpaid volunteers. However, to continue to deliver <br /> these victim services and community education the center <br /> needs funding to continue to attract competent professional <br /> staff who train and supervise the volunteers as well as <br /> community human services providers (e. g, police, medical <br /> personnel, mental health providers, social service workers, <br /> school staff, etc. ) , The Orange County Rape Crisis Center <br /> has earned a reputation as a top notch center throughout the <br /> state and has been used as a model in other locales. <br /> Please vote to continue funding the Orange County Rape <br /> Crisis Center which provides such excellent services for all <br /> Orange County residents. Your thoughtful consideration of <br /> my request would be greatly appreciated. <br /> Sine, rely, <br /> Meg emper,,p , D. <br />
