Masonic Club Giving Away Child Identification Kits (CTCHIP)
Members from the Masonic Club of Darien will be giving free Child Identification Kits (CTCHIP) to interested parents for children (infants to 19 years of age) from 12 noon until 5 p.m.
— an announcement from the Masonic Club of Darien
CTCHIP is the most comprehensive child recovery and identification program in the nation. The packages generated at CTCHIP events, (given to parents on a USB Flash Drive), contain vital components — photos, video, finger prints, bite impressions and a cheek swab to aid law enforcement agencies in recovery and identification of missing children.

“We are thrilled to offer this amazing program to our community and support Darien Parks & Rec,” said Mark Lindsay, District 1 Committee Chairman for CTCHIP and a member of the Darien club. “Last year nearly 425,000 children were reported missing in the US and if we can save just one child, the whole program is worth it.”
