“How to Prevent Identity Theft” will be the topic of the Hays After 5 Christian Women’s meeting from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11. The event will take place at the Rose Garden Banquet Hall, 2250 E. Eighth St.

Speaking will be Kristen Schmidt with the Hays office of the Northwest Kansas Area Agency on Aging.

“This is a topic that all women need to be educated about, so we invite women of all ages to attend,” said Linda North, program chair.

Also on the program will be inspirational speaker Marti Ford of Topeka. Ford said for several years she lived in fear and tried to control life. After several tragic events, including divorce, she said she began to see that some of her problems were “self-inflicted.”

Ford will share how she took steps to be an “overcomer” in her presentation titled “Moving From a Life of Fear to Trust and Peace.”

Cost of the dinner program is $12.50. Reservations are due by Thursday, Nov. 7, to (785) 202-1036 or to [email protected].
