Are you concerned about violence in our area? You're not alone. Almost every week we read about another violent crime in Calhoun County.

Now the people of metro Battle Creek are coming together to tackle this serious problem. And we want you to be part of the solution. Our combined effort is called the Community Collaborative Against Violence (CCAV). The Collaborative includes 25 local churches, non-profit organizations and government agencies. New members are always welcome. Meetings are free and open to all - please join us!

Meeting Time: Mondays from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.

Location: First United Methodist Church, 111 E. Michigan Ave., Battle Creek, MI 49014 (Map)

Who Can Attend: Anyone interested in the problem of violence in our community - bring your ideas!

Don't let violence take control of our lives...or our future. Let's work together to find positive solutions for
the benefit of everyone. To learn more, call the JONAH office at (269) 660-1950.
