2. Madeleine Keegan O’Connell describes the start of YWCA in Sonoma County in 1975 with noticing women and children sleeping in cars and discovering the cause to be domestic abuse and even violence. The need for a chapter of YWCA was recognized and the national YWCA agreed. YWCA provides a 24 hour confidential hotline at (707) 546-1234 and care for domestic abuse victims, including a safe-house in the area. October is Domestic Abuse Awareness month. Madeleine announces the screening premier of the film Power & Control : Domestic Violence in America at Summerfield Cinemas in Santa Rosa on October 25th.

She has made it her personal mission to raise awareness of YWCA’s work in the local community utilizing all her media skills.
