UMaine to participate in call to end domestic violence with 12 noon bell-ringing
The University of Maine will join a statewide network of community centers, churches and others ringing bells at 12 noon today as part of a call to end domestic violence.
The Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence initiated “A Call to Remember, A Call to Action.” UMaine music students Nathanial Hackworth and Justin Hadley will ring hand bells on the UMaine Mall, near the front of Fogler Library. At the same time, the outdoor bell will ring at the College of Engineering’s Cloke Plaza, near the Advanced Manufacturing Center.
Bells will sound for two minutes — one minute to remember those who have died as the result of domestic violence and one minute calling the community to respond.
