OPERATION SAFE SURF
Presented by
Pa. State Attorney General Office
SENIOR SPECIALTY OFFICER AGENT RICK SHAHEEN

FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF MANOR
30 Atlantic Ave. Manor, Pa

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2011, 7:00 P.M. - FREE PROGRAM

Operation Safe Surf is designed to help educate kids, parents, and schools about the importance of being safe online. Children are growing up in a digital age and spend a great deal of their time online - instant messaging, researching and shopping. And, while these are all great tools, they need to be used wisely. Children are being targeted by online predators at an alarming rate, so it is critical for us to help them learn how to protect themselves while still enjoying all of the benefits of the Internet.
