At the Mint Festival and on August 20th
At the Mint Festival and on August 20th the St. Johns – Ovid Masonic Lodge will be providing a free child identification program. Project Connect is Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014. The Mint Festival event will be held on August 8, 9 and 10 from 10 am until 3 pm.
The August 20 program will be conducted between the hours of 10:00am and 1:00pm at the Clinton County 4H Fairgrounds which is located at 2434 West Townsend Road in St. Johns. The program is being provided as a part of the Project Connect event.
Each child that goes through the process will receive a dental impression 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.
