This article on the Pinwheel Planting event done together with the N County Rape Crisis & Child Protection Center and Lompoc Police, appears in the Lompoc Record and Santa Maria Times and quotes our own Barbara Finch:

The paper had previewed the event on 3/31 too (http://lompocrecord.com/news/local/group-to-plant-pinwheels-to-raise-child-abuse-awareness/article_0c8eeee5-e2ec-5597-96cc-2c17953371f1.html).

Video of the pinwheels also appeared on TV (http://www.ksby.com/story/31641356/pinwheels-bring-awareness-to-child-abuse-prevention-month-in-lompoc) and on the Times website (http://santamariatimes.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/video-pinwheels-for-child-abuse/youtube_7c841d61-566c-598f-a33c-eddecd128fd2.html).

We have brought a CAPC Facebook page to life for this month, with monthly prevention tips and cross-promotion, with excellent results: https://www.facebook.com/sbc.capc/. We also link to articles on that page.

Also, here's an article about PHP by Dean Palius in the Santa Ynez Valley Star; it mentions the topic in passing. https://issuu.com/santaynezvalleystar/docs/syv04full/11?e=0/34502029. Download required, so image of the article follows after the jump.
