"Preventing Gun Violence-Things Everyone Can Do to Protect their Loved Ones and their Communities"
On Saturday, January 19, 2008, the Germantown Jewish Centre presents a program open to the community regarding the prevention of gun violence. The keynote presentation, begins at 12:45 PM in the Charry Sanctuary, and is entitled: "Preventing Gun Violence-Things Everyone Can Do to Protect their Loved Ones and their Communities."
The speaker will be Diane Edbril, Executive Director of CeaseFire PA. While this program will be presented from a Jewish perspective, the issues we face are universal to all Americans.
The program will be held at the Germantown Jewish Centre located at 400 West Ellet Street at Lincoln Drive in Mt. Airy. It is open to the public and community members of all faiths, races and cultures are encouraged to join the Centre in learning about these critical issues our country is now facing. No reservations are needed; however, if you know in advance that you will be attending, please R.S.V.P. to the Centre at (215) 844-1507, ext 0.
The Ralph Granger Memorial honors Ralph Granger, a respected and well-loved former custodian of the Germantown Jewish Centre. Mr. Granger was a Christian African-American who was known for his dignity,
and his dedication and love for the Centre. During his lifetime, he served as a role model to the Germantown Jewish Centre's community for valuing and respecting differences in others. The Granger Memorial continues
to pay tribute to his memory, while focusing on current social issues pertinent to the larger communities in which we live.
The keynote speaker, Diane Edbril, is the Executive Director of CeaseFire PA. Edbril is a graduate of the Rockefeller College of Public Policy at the State University of New York at Albany, and earned her Juris Doctor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. She spent nine years practicing criminal law in NYC, half that time as an assistant district attorney, before relocating to Pennsylvania. As an Assistant District Attorney Diane gained invaluable insight into the causes and fallout of gun violence, which formed the basis for her interest in the field of gun policy. She is one of the founders of CeaseFire PA, and has been on staff with the organization since 2002.
