March 28th Gun Control Forum



Friday, March 28 at 8:15pm


Following 7:30pm worship


Kehillath Shalom Synagogue, 58 Goose Hill Rd.


Cold Spring Harbor 11724 


Every day an average of 20 American children are hospitalized for injuries caused by firearms. Another 3,000 die every year before they get to the emergency room. For people ages 15 to 19 firearm injuries are the major cause of death after car crashes.   –USA Today.


Leah Barrett of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence will address the question: “What can we do?”


NYAGV was established in 1993 by mothers galvanized by the senseless shooting death of a teacher in Prospect Park. After the Long Island Railroad massacre in December 1993, a Nassau County chapter was started. In late 1996, a Westchester County chapter was formed in memory of an Eastchester police officer killed in the line of duty. In the fall of 1999 a Suffolk County chapter of New Yorker Against Gun Violence came into existence.


DIRECTIONS: Take 25A West to Cold Spring Harbor. Turn right at gas station a curve in the road onto Goose Hill Road. Synagogue is ½ mile up on right. It’s a cedar shake colonial with a white picket fence. Tel. 631-367-4589.
