Information Table - Men's Conference
Knoxville, TN
On January 16, 2010, SpeakingOut had
the opportunity to set up an Information
Table at a Men's Conference held at
Sevier Heights Baptist Church.  Feed
Your Faith presented this conference
for men called "The Good, The Bad and
The Forgiven".  One of the Guest
Speakers was Burt Rosen, President &
CEO of KARM (Knox Area Rescue
Ministries).  Being at this event allowed  
us to Raise Awareness on Child Sexual
Abuse in a big way... many stopped by
our information table.  This is our
Primary Purpose...
Raising Awareness
on Child Sexual Abuse in an effort to
Aid in the Prevention of this horrific
crime committed against innocent
children of all ages.
 
We would like to thank Bruce Anderson of KARM
(Knox Area Rescue Ministries) for inviting
SpeakingOut to be a part of this wonderful event.  
Thank you for thinking of us!

Appreciation Day Music Festival.  In addition, we
had Bean Bag Toss available for a small donation
for children & adults alike.  The event consisted of
fun-filled, education day with lots of family
entertainment.  Ed Fest 2010 was an all day event
in which we were able to raise awareness, meet
some new contacts & other great organizations in
that area.  The kids loved playing bean bag toss for
candy & prizes.  It's adorable watching those little
ones pick out the prizes and candy.  They would
dig until they found just want they wanted.  There
were many other great organizations out there, to
include, but not limited to CASA of Monroe County.  
It is always a great thing to connect with other
groups that are also fighting against the abuse of
children.  It was a great day!
