Gun violence is a leading cause of premature death in the U.S., killing more than 39,000 people and causing nearly 85,000 injuries each year. Just a few weeks ago, a 19-year-old former student at St. Louis' Central Visual and Performing Arts High School used an AR-15-style rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition to kill a student and teacher and injure several others. These deaths are preventable.

For our December Lunch and Learn, we are excited to welcome Moms Demand Action's Missouri State Communications Lead and NCJWSTL board member Gail Wechsler, who is an expert on legislative advocacy and school safety as pertaining to gun violence. Every time there is a school shooting, we all seem to be at a loss about what to do. Gail will help guide us in how to better make an impact.

Jeffery Dhoruba moved to STL from KC a few years back and immediately made an impression. He is a jazz drummer with serious chops in a town that has a drummer shortage, period, much less jazz drummers. A great jazz drummer is a beautiful thing and is totally unique in the world of music. Not many would disagree if you gave Joe Charles the title of greatest jazz drummer to ever come out of STL. One of his proteges was Gary Sykes who now holds the title of grand master of jazz drummers in STL. When Jeffery got the Kranzberg nod as an artist in residence, Gary was one of the first to shout from the mountaintop that it was well earned! Jeffery has the respect of the masters. And he deserves it.
