Strangers No More (SNM), originally planned to be a one-time program following the shootings at the Jewish Community Campus and Village Shalom in May of 2014, is announcing plans for the fall season of its 11th year.
Programming will begin on Monday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. via Zoom with a presentation on the importance of voting rights. The convenors have also planned programs on “Connecting with God in the Natural World;” a conversation with SNM member and Kansas City Jewish Chronicle columnist Nancy Kalikow Maxwell on her book, “Typically Jewish;” a community service project; and, by popular request, a holiday luncheon.
Meetings are held twice a month: one Monday evening at 7 p.m. on Zoom and one Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the community room of Westbrooke Church (9777 Antioch Rd, Overland Park, KS 66212).
Co-sponsors of SNM are the Jewish Community Relations Bureau | American Jewish Committee and United Women in Faith of Resurrection, a United Methodist Church.
There is no charge to join. The group is open to all women of any religion or no religion. Those interested in requesting to join can go to the Facebook page “Strangers No More; Women Building Bridges to Understanding” and request to become a member. More information is available by emailing .
