Child ID program continues
Child Id program continues and is sponsored by Free Masons and Eastern Star members around Virginia and this group at Fincastle
During the Fincastle Heritage Days, Freemasons and Eastern Star members provided a community service to parents and children by providing them with free identification hardcopy and CDs. Exactly 50 children were served in this weekend event. The IDs included general biographical information, fingerprints, still and video images with sound, and a kit to allow parents to take DNA samples. All computer files were erased as soon as the hardcopy and CDs were made for each child so that only the parents retained the information about their child. submitted by Dick Vinal
Catawba Lodge #342 of Fincastle started providing this community service in June of this year and has thus far completed a total of 103 identifications for Cub Scouts and Millcreek Baptist summer school students as well as those at this weekend event. Pleasants Lodge of Roanoke will be running a day-long identification program at Tanglewood Mall on October 3. Botetourt children are welcome to get their IDs then.
