The first step to getting out of an abusive situation is having a place to go.
For 35 years, the Barbara Kettle Gundlach Shelter Home has been providing sanctuary and services for victims of domestic violence.
Director Mary Niemila talks about those early days of the shelter.
That woman’s home belonged to Barbara Kettle Gundlach.

Tickets are $20 per person and reservations need to be made by Thursday, October 1st.
