Area fire, police, emergency and military personnel, and nonprofit organization Project Jason have been invited to set up displays to demonstrate and educate the public how they make a difference in our community on a daily basis.
Project Jason's new mascot, “I.D. Kitty,†will make his debut at this event. He is a large, warm and fuzzy, 6-foot-tall live action figure designed to take the “fear factor†out of obtaining and creating I.D. Kits, which should be part of every household, and for every family member. Children will be delighted by him, and parents will appreciate how Project Jason is working to help keep every member of the household safe. The public can visit I.D. Kitty at the main parking lot and to get FREE I.D. Kits!
About the I.D. Kit
Since its inception in 2003, Project Jason has given out more than 13,500 I.D. Kits to assist families with safety preparation.
These free I.D. Kits are provided by Project Jason at public events, and as a free downloads in English and in Spanish from the organization website. The kit contains a list of the first steps to take in the event a loved one is missing, plus valuable information that law enforcement will need. The kit should be printed on heavier stock paper, kept in a safe place, and updated at least every 6-12 months.
The kit can be downloaded at http://www.projectja...ion.shtml#idkit
