Decorate the tree this year with a message of love from the Sexual Assault Counseling and Information Service at Eastern.

SACIS is continuing its fourth annual ornament sale this year that started Nov. 18 and will run until Christmas.

The pewter ornaments have been fashioned by Charleston artists Jesse and Ernie Whitworth and are $10 each.

In past years, the ornaments have been shaped like several words such as “peace,” “joy” and “believe.”

This year’s three dimensional ornaments are in the shape of the word “love,” said Rhonda Adair, director of children’s educational programs for SACIS.

“They’re about 3 inches long and 2 inches high,” said Jeanie Stenson, administrative assistant for SACIS.

SACIS is a non-profit organization located in the basement of Lawson Hall that provides free and confidential counseling services to people who have been victims of sexual assault.

“We do counseling, medical and legal advocacy, and we also do educational programs for schools and community groups,” Stenson said.

The fundraiser will help the group raise money to pay for counseling supplies and materials for educational programs, Stenson said.

She also said that usually the successful ornament sale raises a couple hundred dollars.

The ornaments can be purchased in the SACIS office in the basement of Lawson Hall from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The ornaments can also be ordered by phone and delivered, Adair said. Adair takes the ornaments with her to meetings as a way to sell more and to spread the word about the fund raiser.

“We support other agencies’ fund raisers, and they support ours also,” Adair said.
