Byron Walls Speaks: Are Our "Walls" Safe?

MOPS had a fantastic meeting Friday with food, friends and most of all, laughter. Byron Walls has been speaking with wit and humor on the subject of crime safety for 20 years. Prior to starting California Crimefight in 1996, Byron was the Director of Citizens Against Crime in Portland, Oregon, where he and his speakers spoke to over 20,000 people a year. He is a member of the National Criminal Justice Association and, in 1995, served on the Governor's Task Force on Workplace Violence for the State of Washington.

Byron is also a professional comedian, actor and songwriter. (His songs have been recorded by Andy Williams, Emmy Lou Harris and Ronnie Milsap, among others.) It was an honor and a privilege to hear him speak on the topic of crime prevention. I think most of our sides were hurting from laughing so hard! Thank you, Byron! If you'd like more information on Byron and his organization, just click here.

I've included some photos from the meeting, so just enjoy perusing at your leisure, ladies. Also, I've updated some very important event information on the right side, so please check that out as well. Have a wonderful week!

Hilarious and informative "California Crimefight" speaker, Byron Walls.

I think it's "safe" to say that many of us were ready to buy his products. His talk was very eye opening!

There is Connie, volunteering on Sunday at the Sally Foster table.

Thanks to Connie, Angie and Jen for helping us out yesterday. It was such a help!
