KC Scout attends Health and Wellness Fair in Oak Grove, MO

 

Administration Technician, Nancy Powell and Traffic Systems Supervisor, Kelly Alvarez represented KC Scout at OOIDA 
(Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association)’s Health and Wellness Fair on Thursday, Sept. 14. OOIDA is a national trade association based out of Oak Grove, MO dedicated to serving “owner-operators, small sleets and professional truckers; to work for a business climate where truckers are treated equally and fairly; to promote highway safety and responsibility among all highway users; and to promote a better business climate and efficiency for all truck operators," according to their mission statement.

Approximately 300 men and women who work at O.O.I.D.A had the opportunity to attend the fair and learn about different health and wellness organizations within the KC area. KC Scout partnered with MoDOT’s Traffic department to provide two tables of safety information describing Scout’s activities as well as Buckle Up Phone Down initiatives at the fair.

A partner with KDOT furnished brochures specifically about child safety seat utilization along with specially designed stickers to attach to child seats that contain specific information about the child, in the event of an emergency when the adult may be unresponsive.  Two car seats were provided for donation at the event from Emergency Response donated by a non-profit organization that provides child safety seats for various local programs.

“We were thrilled to be a part of an event that further strengthens our partnerships within the KC metro area. KC Scout, MoDOT, KDOT, and OOIDA share common goals to promote safer roadways for both Missourians and Kansans,” explained KC Scout Manager, Randy Johnson.
