YWCA presents a Special One-Time Screening of Anti-Trafficking film Sold!
Based on the global best seller, SOLD, by Patricia McCormick, comes an award winning film that tells the unforgettable story of a girl who risks everything for freedom after being trafficked from her mountain village in Nepal to a brothel in India.Â
YWCA Evansville will be hosting a one-time screening of SOLD at Old National Bank in downtown Evansville on October 11, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. The YWCA selected this date because October 11th is International Day of the Girl Child.
The United Nations General Assembly declared October 11th International Day of the Girl Child to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world. The International Day of the Girl Child focuses the attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfillment of their human rights.
“The fight against human trafficking is one of the great human rights causes of our time. We felt that it was important to focus on this issue on International Day of the Girl Child to not only draw attention to this international crisis, but to also raise awareness about what is going on in our own state of Indiana,†says YWCA CEO, Erika Taylor.
SOLD gives a voice to the millions of children who disappear every year. It is a call to action and a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit. The film has partnered with a service called Tugg which enables people and organizations to set up screenings in their local community in efforts to spread awareness. The YWCA has partnered with Old National Bank, Unchartered International, and the Indiana Trafficking Victim Assistance Program to present this film locally.
After the screening, representatives from YWCA Evansville, Unchartered International, and Indiana Trafficking Victim Assistance Program will make remarks. The event is being offered free of charge at the main office of Old National Bank located at 1 N. Main Street. Parking is available in the Old National Bank parking garage.
YWCA Is On A Mission
For over 150 years, YWCA has been at the forefront of the most critical social movements — from voting rights and civil rights, to affordable housing and pay equity, to violence prevention and health care reform. But despite important work being done on the ground by more than 220 local associations across the country, not enough people understood the size, impact, or relevance of YWCA.
Today, YWCA is one of the top 25 largest charities in the U.S., according to NonProfit Times, with total revenues of more than $775 million. YWCA helps more than 2 million women and children each year in the U.S., and worldwide, YWCA serves 25 million women and girls in 120 countries. At YWCA Evansville, we:
- Provide over 16,000 nights of safe shelter each year to domestic violence victims and homeless women recovering from substance abuse.
- Assist over 250 at-risk Evansville girls each year through our Live Y’ers afterschool, mentoring, and scholarship programs.
- Engage the public in ongoing efforts toward women’s equality and racial justice by taking a leading role in activities relating to Stand Against Racism, Women’s Equality Day, and Equal Pay Day.
YWCA Evansville is on a mission to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families and strengthen our community. YWCA Evansville is part of an international movement serving over 2 million in the United States and 25 million worldwide.

Economic Development Lecture Series Designed to Aid Entrepreneurs
An Economic Development Lecture Series designed to assist those interested in entrepreneurship is planned at Ivy Tech Community College, with its first session planned for Oct. 25. The series is sponsored by the Ivy Tech Diversity Committee, Ivy Tech Division of Business and Public Service, and the Evansville Black Chamber of Commerce.
The first session – titled Brand Development 101 – will discuss the importance of branding a business. It will be offered twice on Oct. 25 – 2:30-3:30 p.m. and 5:30-6:30 p.m., in Room 344 at Ivy Tech.
Admission is free to Ivy Tech students, faculty and staff. Public admission is $10 per session; or $25, for all four of the lectures planned, and can be paid at the Ivy Tech Business Office the day of the event, or before. To register for the event, email smatchem@ivytech.edu prior to the event.
Presenting at the event will be guest speaker Henry Snorton III, principal partner of Mission Vision Partner, LLC and Executive Director of MEDI, Inc.
Mission Vision Partner (MVP) was founded by Snorton, a Certified Economic Developer, in the summer of 2008. After Snorton completed his Master of Public Administration degree and obtained a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management, he left the Hopkinsville Chamber of Commerce and launched MVP full-time in July 2008. Snorton said he was led to start MVP after working with a large number of small and midsize businesses, small cities, towns and counties, governmental agencies, churches and nonprofits and some corporations. What he observed, learned and identified as a niche market and opportunities, was that these organizations and others like them had passion, funding and desire to accomplish great things, but simply lacked the practical knowledge and expertise.
MVP’s success is attributed to the communication skills, talent, practical knowledge and expertise of its founder and associates. MVP’s founder and associates have achieved local, state and national award recognition, and business awards. They serve on local, state and regional boards and commissions and work within their churches and communities.
Other upcoming lectures planned include:
- Nov. 1: 12 Things You Should Do Before Launch, 2:30-3:30, location to be determined
- Nov. 15: Benefits of Business Retention, 5:30-6:30 p.m., location to be determined
- Dec. 6: Using the MVP’s Push-Pull Strategy as an Evaluation Tool, 5:30-6:30 p.m., location to be determined.

BREAKING NEWS: Vanderburgh County 1st District Commissioner Candidate Sean Selby Opposes “Homestead Tax Credit” Reduction
October 10, 2016 / Evansville, Indiana – Over the weekend, Republican Vanderburgh County 1st District Commissioner candidate Sean Selby participated in the 95th Annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival Parade whose grand marshal was Evansville Olympic two-time gold medal winning swimmer, Lilly King. Over the past week, he also spent every day of the Fall Festival interacting with voters and talking about the issues important to them.
Selby commented, “We received a very positive response at the Fall Festival to our platform on bettering roads, keeping taxes low, reducing restrictive regulations, opposing annexation that results in land grabs, encouraging entrepreneurship and attracting businesses that create jobs, and more.â€
Specifically regarding keeping taxes low, at a recent United Neighborhoods of Evansville candidate forum, Selby spoke out against a proposal to raise property taxes by relaxing the property tax homestead exemption rate from 8% to 6% and by annually by 2% until completely gone. “Numerous Vanderburgh County residents have serious concerns that the Evansville City Council will vote today to increase their property taxes by relaxing the homestead exemption and I equally share in those concerns.â€
With USA Today reporting that nearly 7 in 10 Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, some residents have even said they would eventually be unable to endure these projected annual 2% increases if passed and may be forced to consider moving to other counties. “When we look at multiple economic indicators, we realize that it is an especially bad idea to consider repealing this exemption of the homesteads in Vanderburgh County residents at this time. Furthermore, many are frustrated that Evansville will be able to outnumber the county voters who have spoken so clearly on this issue. So, I have called on individual city council members to reconsider this course of action today and hopefully they will.â€
Later today, the Evansville City Council is slated to meet and may attempt to relax part of the property tax homestead exemption, which will lead to a tax increase of all Vanderburgh County residents for their homestead.
