All Jewish women are invited to attend the next Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together (JULIETs) event, which will feature a presentation by Officer Wes Griffith of the Overland Park Police Department.
Griffith was recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice for an innovative program that he created and implemented to increase safety and security in residential neighborhoods.
The event will be held on Sunday, Aug. 24, from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Congregation Beth Torah (6100 W. 127th St., Overland Park, KS 66209). This month’s JULIETs event is a week earlier than usual due to Labor Day weekend.
Griffith will speak to participants about how to protect themselves and prevent crime. Topics to be addressed include the effectiveness of video doorbells; dealing with solicitors; how to deal with others’ road rage; how to detect a scam and more.
Women can reserve their seat by emailing Susie Klinock at by Aug. 21. Admission is free, but each woman must have a reserved seat.
Attendees should bring their lunch and arrive by 12:15 p.m. to check in so the event can begin promptly. No synagogue affiliation is required to attend, and attendees should bring their own lunch or snack. Beverages and paper goods will be provided.
