Walmart – Don’t Give Up on Safety Just Because You Have a Lot of Shopping To Do

Leave a Comment

walmartpolicetapeJust this past week, a community member was approached by a man in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter in South Euclid claiming to have a gun and attempting to steal her purse. Fortunately, he was unsuccessful and no one was seriously injured. No doubt incidents like this are frequent at this store that could easily have several arrests per day and has shocking crime statistics.

However this incident serves as a good reminder to our community to not take personal safety  lightly! At this busy time when there is so much shopping to do, please continue to be careful about safety and consider the following. If you have more to share, please let us know in the comments. It is hoped that schools and shuls and families take the time to share this warning and come up with their own strategies.

foxparkinsonsAshkenazi Jews carry a gene mutation for Parkinson’s at a much higher rate than the general population.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation is looking for Ashkenazi Jews who either have Parkinson’s, or are 50 and older with a first degree relative who has Parkinson’s. If you meet either of these criteria, and would like to have free genetic testing, please visit www.michaeljfox.org/ppmigenetics or call 888-830-6299.

If you are found to be positive for the gene, you will receive free genetic counseling and have the option of participating in further study.

We’re the ones who get it, we’re the ones who can find a cure.  For more information visit the website, call the information line, or check out a 2 page informational booklet.
