Special Denim Day is Oct. 16 Oct. 16 is a Special Denim Day for Safe Kids Grand Forks, a local coalition working to prevent accidental and unintentional injury to children 14 years of age and younger through a variety of programs and educational materials. Local programs include wheeled sports safety, child passenger safety, farm safety, fire safety, pedestrian safety, and water safety to name a few. Safe Kids Grand Forks recently lost the General Motors funding support used to provide child passenger safety seats to eligible families and for technician training to support educating families on proper installation and use of safety seats. Funds raised during this special denim day will go to help Safe Kids Grand Forks continue its important work in our community. Give your contribution (checks may be made to Safe Kids Grand Forks) to your building/office coordinator, wear your Denim Day button, and enjoy a day wearing your favorite denim. The kids in our community thank you. -- Patsy Nies, Special Project Assistant, Enrollment Services, patsynies@mail.und.nodak.edu, 777-3791
