Greetings!
Last week, the news brought another story of a teenager killed in a rollover crash. He was partially ejected because he was not wearing a belt. While it's impossible to know for sure that he would have survived with a belt, the odds would have certainly been much higher.
Friends said: "I didn't want to think it was him--why did it have to be him?" "We love him; we miss him." "If you ever needed anything, you could just call him and he'd be there."
Thanks for all you do to promote safety belts. While we never know if the work we do saves anyone, just one life saved makes it worthwhile.

2nd Quarter Action Report Winner |

Congratulations to Mark Claussen with the Random Acts of Kindness (RAOK) Jr. Optimist Club in Norfolk, NE. Mark is the school guidance counselor as well as the RAOK advisor. This past quarter Mark and his 6th and 7th grade students at Norfolk Middle School completed several projects to increase safety belt usage in their community and they submitted their projects to our Action Report drawing.  The RAOK group has done many seatbelt awareness projects, from Honor Roll observations to performing an improv skit entitled Backseat Bullet, to having the students sign pledge cards to wear their safety belts. They've set up several speakers at the middle school, including Click It Don't Risk It Team Leader, Cherie Ferber, and Dan Busse, a local State Farm agent and adult Optimist member.
Congratulations Marc and the 6th and 7th graders of Norfolk Middle School. It is with actions like these that we will increase the use of safety belts in Nebraska and effectively save lives. Way to go!
Be sure to enter our drawing for Omaha Steaks by submitting an action report whenever you do a seatbelt awareness project!
