| Greetings!
Thanks to all of you who have ordered materials recently. It's great to
know that so much work to promote safety belt usage is happening all
across the state. Special thanks to the schools who have emailed to say they plan to participate in Come Home Safe this year.
One small glitch in the system occurred last
week, right when the announcement about the new materials went out. Timing could not have been worse.
Apparently our website server
was bombarbed with Spam from an unknown source for a short period,
which meant that the poor machine temporarily lost its cool and threw a
few orders into the ethernet. Obviously the technical aspects of what
happened are a little more complicated, but the bottom line is that if
your order appears to have been ignored, please email
cidri@safenebraska.org or reorder online. We're not ignoring orders,
but we're not 100% positive that we received all of them. All is well
again at the Click It website, so please continue to order materials and
use them for your health fairs, the Come Home Safe program, or whatever
other projects you have going on.
Thanks, and we look forward to getting your orders. Click here to check out what's available.

YouTube offers multiple videos about safety belt education. Some are very appropriate and helpful. Here's a new classic just put out in the last year from England.
This video is lovely, and gets the point across without any disturbing images.
Think your kids could handle a slightly more graphic approach to safety belt education? As reported at IdahoReporter.com, "the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is receiving federal money -
and free television commercials - to educate young male drivers about
the dangers of not wearing seat belts when operating vehicles and the
agency is doing it in an eye-opening fashion." This video makes a great point about windshield contact.
Check out these 2 very different approaches to the same message. Buckle Up! Every trip, every time.
