Masonic Lodge to perform Free Child ID Program in Howell

On Saturday February 22nd, the Brighton Masonic Lodge #247 will be
providing a free child identification program.  The program will be conducted between the
hours of 8:00am and 12:00pm at The Hartland Educational Support Service Center,
9525 East Highland Road in Howell.  The
program is being provided as a part of the Oakland Livingston Human Service
Agency "Walk for Warmth" event.  The program is also being provided in partnership
with the Livingston County Sheriff's Department.


Each child that goes through the process will receive a dental
impression kit as well as a CD containing a photo, video, digital fingerprints
and their vital information.  Parents or
guardians of children who participate must be present and fill out a permission
slip for the child to receive this service. 
Children who have already received the service are encouraged to repeat
the process every two years to keep the information in the completed packets
current.



The Michigan Child Identification Program provides the family with
everything needed for the Amber Alert System. 
Since 2005 over sixty five thousand Michigan children have received this
valuable service.  The National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children considers the Michigan Child Identification
Program to be one of the most comprehensive of its kind.



For questions or more information about the event you may call
989-466-3087 or consult the Michigan Child ID Web Site at www.MichiganChildID.org.
