Internet Safety Class for Parents  (Contact is Ryan Fulmer, 927-8731, Ext. 115)
On Monday, May 12th from 6-8pm the Baltimore Police Department will be giving a presentation for parents on how to keep your child(ren) safe on the internet. The presentation will be held at Tri-Village in the sanctuary. This is a free service that the Baltimore police are providing for us and you are encouraged to ask questions and make the event more of a discussion than a lecture. This is a great opportunity for all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to catch-up with technology and learn the importance of keeping your children safe when on the computer. The presentation is open to everyone even if you do not have children. You are welcome to invite friends and family. If you do have children this is a must see!
