Clothesline Project - Sunday, October 23rd, noon-6pm at The Greene in Beavercreek. The Clothesline Project addresses the issue of domestic/dating violence, sexual assault and stalking and is a visual display of

t-shirts hanging from a clothesline.  It is used as a outlet for those affected to express their emotions by decorating a shirt.  This visual is designed to raise awareness of these issues on individuals and families in our community and increase public participation.
