| Introduction | | | Since 1990, Kiwanis clubs around the world have participated in addressing the needs of children prenatal through age five in a special program called Young Children: Priority One. Clubs have developed thousands of projects that have improved children's health, safety, developmental opportunities, and parental involvement. | | | | Each year there are new children born who need our help. | | | | | | | | Kiwanis Club of Omaha Westside actively supports organizations whose activities we feel deserve broad awareness in the community: | | One of those whose message is very special is: |
Kids In Cars | | Our club has supplied the 10 elementary schools of Westside and particularly the parents of students entering kindergarten (about 400 students and families involved) with brochures that explain the importance of "Never leaving your children alone in or around a vehicle for even a 'minute' and provided safety tips regarding children and vehicles". | | | | Another of great import to all parents is: |
Keep Kids Alive Drive 25™ | | | | Kiwanis Club of Omaha Westside has developed a special program to assist the emergency response community with information to properly identify and care for children involved in motor vehicle crashes in which the adult victim is incapacitated. | Child Safety Seat Occupant ID Program | | |
