COORDINATOR’S CONFERENCE – sponsored by

PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

Since 1975 Prudential has provided the “rock” for our organization to build upon, expand services to local communities and promote the program.

They provided funds:
• to research and develop classroom materials
• for a (85 slide) presentation for coordinators to assist in explaining the program
• for operating expenses – a secretary
• to print – The Safety Town Game – and catalogs
• for a 3-day Coordinator’s Conference in 1976

In addition, they provided in-house artwork and printing for various projects, arranged publicity, assisted in workshop/seminar preparation, plus provided professional expertise.

Joseph A. Vecchione - Vice President, Public Relations receives a beautiful walnut plaque from Dorothy Chlad for his outstanding cooperation and support.

The conference served a 3-fold purpose:

1. To allow coordinators from various states to personally meet and exchange ideas and experiences.
2. To discuss procedures and establish criteria for various policies for the program and organization.
3. To reward these dedicated coordinators with a fun, enjoyable weekend for graciously volunteering their time and money to promote the importance of – SAFETY FOR KIDS – through Safety Town.

Each coordinator received a parchment, framed certificate, a beautiful red zipper carrying case complete with the Safety Town logo and their name printed – in gold ink and business cards.

A picture and new release was sent to each coordinator’s local newspapers.
