Hi all, I was contacted by the public educator for the Pike Township Fire Department. They are hosting a children's safety event. They asked me for information and a contact for someone who could host a booth on Internet safety. Here are the specifics: > Our festival is on October 6, 2007 from 11:00-3:00. In case of rain, the > festival will be held on Oct. 7. It will take place at Intech Park, which is > on the northwest side of Indianapolis, at I-465 and 71st Street. Booth set up > begins at 9:00 on the day of the festival. I have sent this woman my new parent and teen handbooks (will be on my site soon) and told her that I would try to find someone from the region who could help run this booth. I told her I knew great library and ed tech folks. I figure this would be a good school-community relations activity for some of you. What I suggested was that the best approach would be to have teens, probably high school students, in the booth to talk with parents. I think it is time that we help let parents know that many teens have figured a lot of the safety issues out and really are trying to make good choices. And I really am into youth empowerment. So if any of you are from this community and would like to help with this., please contact me privately and I will get you connected. Nancy -- Nancy Willard, M.S., J.D.
