Christ Church Working Mothers Fellowship Invites Bronxville Women to Meeting on Gun Violence Prevention
Jul. 16, 2014: Members of Christ Church Bronxville's Working Mothers Fellowship invite the women of the Bronxville community to an event on Tuesday, July 22, at 7:00 pm at the home of AJ Murphy, 10 North Road.
The meeting will address gun violence prevention and will discuss the organization started by former Congresswoman Gabby Gifford and her husband, retired combat veteran and NASA astronaut Captain Mark Kelly: Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS).
This is not a fundraiser; it's a gathering with great women, wine, and hors d'oeuvres and an opportunity to change the world to make it a safer place for our children.
In the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and the senseless other recent shootings at schools and other venues, such as the one that so critically injured Gabby, many of us want to do something to make the country safer from gun violence but don't know where to start. This is a first step toward learning how to become part of the movement to change our gun laws with common-sense solutions, such as requiring universal background checks.
Democrats, Republicans, independents, gun owners, non-gun owners, and any and all denominations are welcome.
So that we can get a head count, we kindly ask that you send an email to Kim Olson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you plan to attend.
