The 11th Annual Candlelight Vigil for Victims of Crime will be held at the New Life Christian Center, 603 Pearman dairy Road in Anderson, on Monday, November 15 at 6:30 pm.
This event which began in 1999 is sponsored by the Greater Anderson Area Victim Advocate Association (GAAVA) to remember victims of crime and their families.
Mrs. Becky Oliver of Pendleton, SC will be the guest speaker. Mrs. Oliver’s son was brutally murdered in Florida. Since that time, she has worked tirelessly in facilitating support groups at local churches, mortuaries, and for law enforcement, on behalf of survivors of violent crime.
