Self-defense class for teenage girls
A free self-defense class for teenage girls will be offered by the Lincoln Police Department on August 9 and 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This class is especially geared to high school seniors and college students. On the first day, participants will go over basic safety and then learn both verbal and physical basic self-defense tactics and moves such as strikes, punches, and kicks. On the second day, an officer in full pads simulates attacks, and participants “fight” with the ultimate goal of escaping. The class is modeled on a successful class for adults (see the Lincoln Squirrel, Jan. 13, 2014). For more information, or to sign up, please contact Jena Salon at jenasalon@gmail.com or 215-514-5963.
Library children’s room reopens; programs this week
The Children’s Room of the Lincoln Public Library is open again after four months in a temporary space across the hall. The move was necessitated by a fire sprinkler installation project. The Children’s Room is all spruced up and we even have some new toys, courtesy of the Friends of the Lincoln Library.
