| Oct 15 Washington Fire Department Open House & Child Identification Program (IL-CHIP) |
| Flyer = drive.google.com/file/d/0BypZxvGISbNsNjZDUGZkM3JxRXc/view?usp=sharing It allows parents to have a packet of information for their children that can be turned into an Amber alert if needed (we hope it is not needed, but it is better to be prepared for an emergency). Please note that NO information is retained by the people running the event. Everything including Fingerprints, DNA sample, pictures & videos of the children are put into a sealed envelope & given to the parents to have in case of an emergency. All workers at the event have had background checks to ensure the security & safety of everybody involved. This is not a one time program. If the program is offered in your area in the future, you can participate again as your child matures. Children's fingerprints may have small changes within the first 5 years of their life. This is s a FREE activity being offered by the Grand Masonic Lodge of Illinois and Taylor Lodge #98 in Washington, IL to help parents of the community. Please take 10 minutes out of your day during the Washington Fire Department Open House to get this critical packet created for each of your children. |
