Register by Monday, Oct. 2 for the Refuse To Be A Victim® crime prevention and personal safety seminar being held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7 in the multi-purpose room at Hickory Hall at 66 Morris Drive on the Mansfield University campus. 

Created by the women of the National Rifle Association, this course covers personal safety while at home, driving or traveling. “This is not a course on shooting a gun,” said Marilyn Jone, an NRA-certified course instructor, who is teaching the seminar.

Those attending will learn common sense techniques on how to minimize the risk of becoming a victim at home, in the workplace and in other situations, such as while shopping. Also taught will be an array of personal safety strategies and tips on how to create a personalized safety plan before it is needed.

The fee is $20 to cover the cost of the book and class materials. It is to be paid at the time of registration with Ms. Jones.
