The Sarasota County Victim Advisory Council will host its annual Victim Tribute on Tuesday, April 24, at the Robert L. Taylor Community Complex, 1845 34th Street, Sarasota, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

This tribute is part of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, April 22-28, 2012, and is intended to celebrate accomplishments in the victims’ rights movement, reach out to survivors of all types of crime and honor victims who are no longer with us.

The public is invited to join the Council, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC), the State Attorney’s Office, Venice Police Department, Sarasota Police Department, Sarasota County Fire Department and Parents of Murdered Children, as well as representatives from the City of Sarasota and Sarasota Board of County Commissioners, for this important event.

Many of the listed agencies will offer information on available community resources.
