Honeywell Family Safety Day Held
by Keith Bardell
The looming storms moved away in time for fun and festivities in the Honeywell Plant 4 parking lot on Saturday, June 12 for the Family Safety Day Event. The public as well as employees and their families at Honeywell were invited to have fun and be educated in child safety.
Child ID kits with photos were made available as well as medication safety cards and helmets for the children. Kids were able to sit in a firetruck and enjoy games and food. The fire department, police department and the Sherriff’s departments all joined forces to interact with the families and promote safety.
"It’s an opportunity for Honeywell to show it’s commitment to being a good corporate citizen," said Steve Dorsey, event coordinator and employee club treasurer, and manufacturing engineer.
Dorsey wants the event to raise awareness in the community and focus on health and safety issues for the kids. Along with food and games the kids were also able to don Honeywell-made fireman jackets. The event was free and open to the public.
