                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 2004

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
the ``Kids Day America'' event in Anniston, AL, to be held this year on 
May 15, 2004. ``Kids Day America'' is in its 10th year and is a special 
day set aside across the nation to address health, safety, and 
environmental issues that affect us as individuals and as a community. 
Wade Clinic of Chiropractic of Anniston is the official chiropractic 
office representing the event.
  This year in Anniston, ``Kids Day America'' will benefit the Wellness 
Education Foundation, a national nonprofit organization formed for the 
purpose of educating communities across the country about wellness 
issues. The Anniston Police Department is bringing McGruff, the Crime 
Dog; the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department will be present to 
fingerprint ID children; the Calhoun County LINC Program will be 
presenting parenting workshops; the Health Department will be 
distributing information; and the Alabama Power Company will be 
presenting their ``SafetyOpolus.''
  More than 1500 communities have participated in ``Kids Day America.'' 
With the help and support of thousands of local police departments, 
county sheriff offices, dentists, and photographers who volunteer, the 
children who attend will be able to complete their own Child Safety ID 
cards.
  I salute ``Kids Day America'' for the service it provides and commend 
Wade Clinic of Chiropractic of Anniston, Alabama, for its sponsorship 
of this event on May 15, 2004.
