The Office for Victims of Crime is organizing an Orange Shirt Day event on Saturday, September 30th at the Mashpee Rotary from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM. Orange Shirt Day (aka National Day for Truth & Reconciliation), is a day to honor the 150,000 plus victims of American Indian Boarding Schools.

A social will follow at the Community and Government Center from 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM. During the social, a poster contest will be held. If you would like to participate, the OVC will be providing free poster materials from September 25th – September 29th in the lobby of the Community and Government Center. 

The OVC is looking for four volunteers who are willing to assist the set up and clean-up of the social. They are also asking for orange shirt pack donations to be able to give them out to the youth for the event. For more information, please contact Jadyn Henderson at jadyn.henderson@mwtribe-nsn.gov or by phone at 508-477-0208 ext. 184.
