Such awareness is frequently the single most important factor in avoiding becoming a criminal’s victim.\nThe Refuse To Be A Victim seminar will be held at the Duncannon Sportsmen’s Association on November 5th and 6th 2020. We will begin at 6:30 PM and conclude at about 8:30 both days. But\, depending upon questions\, more or less time may be required.
