Jewish Community Security Town Hall meeting, forwarded from United Jewish Federation of Utah

Hi all,

Thanks to all of you have joined our various programs throughout the year – and even thanks to all of you who aren’t able to join us, but read our emails and allow us to continue to send you information. I am grateful to each of you for the way you support the Federation and our work in building and advocating for a strong and vibrant Jewish community in Utah.

Before I wish you a happy holiday, I want to share important information about our upcoming Community Security Towne Hall scheduled for the evening of December 6th at the JCC. We’ll be using this event to formally introduce Dave McKean, our new community security advisor, to our community as well as to receive security updates and presentations from the Summit County Sherriff, Salt Lake Police Department, Secure Community Network, FBI and the United States Attorney’s office. (please see graphic attached for individuals attending). We’re very fortunate to have such strong support from our law enforcement community. In addition, following the 6:30pm program, Dave will be leading an Active Threat Training at 7:30pm for those who want to join. Please note the details below and again the graphic attached for the individuals attending . I’d very much enjoy seeing you there.

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and peaceful thanksgiving holiday.

Meeting reminder, 21 Nov 2023, 6:30 PM at FamilySearch Library

Elections! If you can help, we really need a treasurer! Josh’s responsibilities at work keep him from continuing in that position. If you aren’t a member yet, there’s still time. Join us at www.ujgs.org.

Michael Strauss from Ancestry ProGenealogists will speak on ICAPGen. This meeting will be held at the FamilySearch Library in Classroom C at 6:30. It will also be a Zoom meeting, link to follow.

Yes, this topic is really only of interest to those who are or plan to become professional researchers, I hope that as many people as possible attend this meeting to show their support for UJGS and to take part in elections. Thanks!
