REGION VIII UPDATE

By Senior Agent Todd LaViolette

Region VIII Representative

"I GOT CAUGHT"......AGAIN!!!

The agents in Region 8 are again participating in the " I Got Caught" summer boating safety program. The program is a statewide boating safety promotion to reward children for wearing their life jackets. Agents who see a child wearing a life jacket while boating will give a T-shirt to the child. For the past three years, we have participated in this program and the boaters we have contacted like the program. The shirts are bought with money donated by local sponsors. In turn, the logos of the sponsors are printed on the backs of the shirts.

We would like to thank our sponsors for this year:
