Still. Domestic Violence Awareness in Utah County featuring Kara Lyn Roundy & Cathy Butler

**We all are affected by houses haunted with domestic violence, whether it be in our own home, a neighboring home, or in the home of someone we care about.  Please thoughtfully consider who you would like to bring with you who can benefit from greater awareness and enlightenment.

I want to highlight our performers for the Still event in Utah County throughout this week.  I'll start with the two women who inspired me to get back into the music scene, Kara Lyn Roundy and Cathy Butler.  I have had the privilege of spending time with them over the past couple months and it has been life changing to say the least.  They are both lending their talents to this cause because they love people and want to inspire goodness in our families and communities.
