On
Saturday, December 14th, 2002 four members from the Louisiana
Passenger Safety Task Force participated in a Booster seat giveaway
at Alton Elementary School in Alton. Participating in the event
was Jason Bilich (St. Tammany Fire Protection District #1), Joe
Chapman (St. Tammany Fire Protection District #12), Brian Nicaud (Slidell
Police Department) and others. Parents from Alton elementary were given the
seats and also instructed on child passenger safety. The seats were
made available through the 2002 Boost America program.
After the day was over,
12 booster seats were handed out and one child seat was checked.
Overall 13 children are now safer because of this event.
If anyone would like
to schedule a child seat checkup to ensure the seat is being used
correctly please call Pam Nash At (985) 646-4387 to schedule an
appointment.
