IN RECOGNITION OF KIDS DAY AMERICA/INTERNATIONAL -- (Extensions of Remarks - April 27, 2004)

SPEECH OF
HON. MIKE ROGERS
OF ALABAMA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2004

Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the "Kids Day America" event in Anniston, AL, to be held this year on May 15, 2004. "Kids Day America" is in its 10th year and is a special day set aside across the nation to address health, safety, and environmental issues that affect us as individuals and as a community. Wade Clinic of Chiropractic of Anniston is the official chiropractic office representing the event.

This year in Anniston, "Kids Day America" will benefit the Wellness Education Foundation, a national nonprofit organization formed for the purpose of educating communities across the country about wellness issues. The Anniston Police Department is bringing McGruff, the Crime Dog; the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department will be present to fingerprint ID children; the Calhoun County LINC Program will be presenting parenting workshops; the Health Department will be distributing information; and the Alabama Power Company will be presenting their "SafetyOpolus."

More than 1500 communities have participated in "Kids Day America." With the help and support of thousands of local police departments, county sheriff offices, dentists, and photographers who volunteer, the children who attend will be able to complete their own Child Safety ID cards.

I salute "Kids Day America" for the service it provides and commend Wade Clinic of Chiropractic of Anniston, Alabama, for its sponsorship of this event on May 15, 2004.

END
