Ribbon Tying Ceremony and Open House Celebration

On July 14, 2005 the Children's Advocacy Center hosted a Ribbon Tying Ceremony and Open House Celebration to commemorate the opening of our new facility and to honor the donors and supporters that have participated in our Capital Campaign. 

The Ribbon Tying Ceremony represented the professional partnerships throughout Ottawa County that have allowed the Children's Advocacy Center to serve child victims of sexual assault and their family members.  Attendees included Holland Chief of Police John Kruithoff, Ottawa County Sheriff Gary Rosema, Ottawa County Prosecutor Ron Frantz, Department of Human Services Director Loren Snippe, Zeeland Chief of Police Bill Olney, Trooper Bill Coon of Michigan State Police, and Tim Bulthuis of Grand Haven Department of Public Safety.  Plaques were presented to the Ottawa County Health Department, the Holland Hospital Foundation, and the City of Holland for their support since the inception of the Center in 1998.
