8:00 pm: Fearless Meeting – What is Fearless?Fearless groups are an emotional support community, based on the 12-step model, for people on the Sexual Offense Registry and their friends and family. Fearless meetings are aimed at breaking down the isolation by providing a safe place for people on the Registry and their loved ones to get together and learn ways to improve and take charge of their lives and overcome the stigma we all face. You don’t have to suffer alone.
- Rachel Joy Scott Let’s all get on the compassion train.

"If you will have a person enslaved, the first thing you must do is convince yourself that the person is subhuman. The second thing you have to do is convince your allies that you'll have some help. And the third, and probably unkindest cut of all, is to convince that person that he or she is subhuman and deserves it."
