Thank you to everyone who attended our fifth Community Safety Partners meeting at the Bernard Horwich JCC. Each gathering shows how much stronger our neighborhood becomes when organizations and leaders unite with a shared commitment to safety, connection, and collaboration.

We were especially grateful to have Tim Gramins, Assistant Deputy Security Director at the Jewish United Fund (JUF), with us for an engaging and informative presentation on the Flock safety system. His insights helped deepen our understanding of how this technology can strengthen community-wide safety efforts.

We also want to acknowledge and thank our partners in attendance, whose continued involvement makes this initiative possible: Love West Ridge, ICNA Relief Chicago, Rohingya Culture Center of Chicago, cRc Kosher, FORA – Forging Opportunities for Refugees in America, State Representative Kevin Olickal, and State Senator Ram Villivalam. Your participation and support reflect the collaborative spirit that defines this work.

As always, JNDC is proud to convene this diverse coalition of organizations and leaders working together toward a safer and more connected West Rogers Park. We look forward to continuing this momentum into the new year.
