Bedford police to teach self defense at Women’s Club meeting

Thursday, February 16, 2012

What makes property vulnerable? How do you avoid robbery in parking lots? Should you be concerned about unknown vehicles in your neighborhood? How should you react to phone solicitation?

On Feb. 23, officer Danielle Nightengale of the Bedford Police Department will speak on “Personal Safety and Self Defense.”

The program will take place at Fellowship Hall at the Bedford Presbyterian Church at 11:30 a.m. as part of the Bedford Women’s Club meeting. For further information, contact Bobbe Fairman at 472-5658.

The Bedford Women’s Club is open to women who are interested in fostering social and cultural relationships as well as providing scholarships and charitable contributions. Active Membership is a category appropriate for women who can attend midday meetings. Associate Membership is a category available to Bedford women whose commitments prevent them from attending monthly meetings. Associate Members may participate in club interest groups and serve on committees.

General membership meetings are on the fourth Thursday of each month from September through May unless otherwise designated. Prospective members should contact Chris Buffey at 935-7228 or Terry Chapman at 472-3642.

February’s charitable contribution is for New Life Home for Women and Children. The organization needs glass plates, drinking glasses, napkins, toilet tissue, paper towels, foam dinner plates, foam cereal bowls, foam dessert plates, canned goods (especially vegetables and tomato sauce) and a large coffee-maker (15-30 cup).
