SUMMARY:Third Annual Interfaith Vigil on Domestic Violence
DESCRIPTION:A Third Annual Interfaith Candlelight Vigil on Domestic Violence will be held on May 9th\, from 7-7:30 p.m. on the Huntington Town Greens\, and will be followed by an informal gathering in Stanton Hall\, adjacent to the Town Greens.

Event planners point to research that says during a trauma\, people are five times more likely to seek the aid of clergy than any other profession. \n  \nVigil planners say they want to make it clear that the hilltown faith community supports and stands ready to help anyone who faces abuse or violence. Last year\, advocates from Hilltown Safety at Home worked with more than 75 victims and survivors of domestic violence. \n  \nIn March of this year\, Luke Karpinski of Sheffield\, killed himself\, his wife Justine Wilbur\, and their 3 children. In January of this year\, Blake Scanlon of Westfield\, fatally stabbed his girlfriend Alexis Avery. Also in January\, Nelson Cardona of Northampton killed his wife\, Karina Nieves\, and himself\, leaving their 3 young daughters without a living parent. \n  \nIn the event of rain\, the Vigil will be held in Stanton Hall\, adjacent to the Huntington Town greens. The vigil is sponsored by members of the Hilltown Domestic Violence Interfaith Initiative\, a group supported by the Southern Hilltown Domestic Violence Task Force.

SUMMARY:Upcoming History and Genealogy Program at WSPL
DESCRIPTION:Mom’s WWII Letters: Reconstructing History & Genealogy—with Corinne Smith\, Tuesday\, May 7th from 6:30-8:00pm. In May 2017\, Corinne Smith found her mother’s stash of more than 100 letters from 16 servicemen she had corresponded with in 1944-1945. Corinne began to trace the soldiers’ family trees with one goal in mind: to return the letters in person to their children. This presentation links history and genealogy to present-day research and diligence. It revisits a time that we may not want to forget—and it may prompt others to wonder what treasures lurk in their own old family boxes\, and how they can share the information with others. This program is free\, and open to the public. Funding for this program was provided by the WSAC. The West Springfield Public Library is located at 200 Park Street. For more information on these programs call: 413-736-4561 ext. 3\, or stop by the Library’s Adult Services Desk.
