Residents are invited to learn how to avoid trouble, walk away, and defend if necessary at a class planned for later this evening.
A free self defense class for youth and adults will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. tonight at the Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA in Cranberry Township.
In addition to learning a practical, common sense approach to self defense and training in risk reduction, participants are asked to bring an item to donate to the Victim Outreach Intervention Center or VOICe. Items needed include batteries, garbage bags, dish soap, and sponges.
Registration is required for this free event through the Butler County Family YMCA website.
