Forum to Discuss Littleton Tragedy

A community forum called “Moving Beyond Littleton--Strategies of Hope” will be open to all parents, community leaders and clergy at St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church, 1360 S. Wendy Drive, at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

The Rev. Lynne Austin of the church will moderate the forum.

A discussion panel will include Max Beaman, principal of Newbury Park High School; Ed Tumbleson of the Thousand Oaks Police Department; Annette Marcus of Interface Children Family Services; Helaine Esterson of Jewish Family Service; and the Rev. Stephen Meadors of the American Assn. of Pastoral Counselors.

“The Littleton, Colo., tragedy is not confined to a city far away,” Austin said. “It has affected children, adults and families everywhere, including the Conejo Valley.”

Child care will be provided.
