Greetings!
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Well, we have some lemons, but could use a hand with the lemonade. We have experienced a problem with the Click It website. No correspondence came through the website (including Honor Roll information and material orders!) for several weeks, so orders and any other information were never delivered.
If anyone ordered any materials they did not receive, we apologize and invite your reorder. If you qualified for the Honor Roll but haven't heard from us, please enter the information again, or email cidri@safenebraska.org
If you haven't qualified for the Honor Roll, why not? Any group can qualify, and all you have to do is check your arrivals and departures to see if your members are buckled up. 2 checks at least 30 days apart that show 90% or more buckled up qualify your group for the Click It Honor Roll. Membership in the Honor Roll earns you a certificate and the opportunity to shake Governor Heineman's hand at a proclamation ceremony.

Drumroll Please!
| The winners of the Come Home Safe drawing for the 2010-2011 school year are:
Doniphan-Trumbull high school $500
Silver Lake high school $500
David City High School $1000
 As you know, the Come Home Safe project invited high schools throughout Nebraska to educate their students about the importance of wearing safety belts. Every school that completed 2 observations of safety belt use at least 30 days apart and provided some education about the importance of safety belts was entered in a drawing at the conclusion of the project.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Come Home Safe project and for the efforts you have made toward educating Nebraska's teenagers about buckling up.
We read stories in the newspaper about teenagers who were killed because they were involved in a crash, and weren't wearing their safety belt. Regardless of their other many talents, whether sports, or music, or academic, they die because of that one poor choice. Let's hope that our efforts have prevented that fate for as many teenagers as possible.

Salute to Safety
| | The Salute to Safety was a giant health fair sponsored by the Omaha Police Department. It was held at the Westroads Mall in Omaha on Saturday, May 7. This health fair featured over 70 booths inside, and many different vehicles outside the mall. There were  clowns, inflatable mascots walking around, and free bicycle helmets.
Click It--Don't Risk It was on hand to distribute air fresheners and coloring books, and break some eggs for the purpose of teaching kids that safety belts can save lives!
At your next health and safety fair, don't forget to promote safety belt use! Free materials can be ordered from our website, and you are welcome to borrow the egg ramp. Or, invite Click It to your event. We can come and talk about the importance of wearing a safety belt, every trip, every time.
