Despite the rainy night we’re having, this weekend is shaping up to be another fun one in Southwest Florida!
DNA Lifeprint Event – Saturday, March 13th at Sutherlin Nissan – FREE
The DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event and endorsed by John Walsh, America’s Trusted Name In Fighting Crime is coming to Fort Myers this weekend. This program provides parents with the vital tools recommended by the FBI and The Department Of Justice. In fact, the program is being donated to our community by Sutherlin Nissan this weekend. The location of the event is 13985 S. Tamiami Trail, Fort Myers on Saturday, March 13th, 2010 9:30am – 2:00pm.
Biometrics is the newest and most advanced technology available today for obtaining fingerprints. We are privileged to be able to use the same equipment presently used by Federal Agencies, Law Enforcement, and the US Military. Law Enforcement know that time is critical in the recovery of a missing child. The Biometric Technology our program brings to parents allows their child’s fingerprints to be immediately submitted into the FBI Database as soon as they are reported missing. When the child’s fingerprints are entered into the FBI Database, the fingerprints become immediately available to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
You will receive the following DNA kit ($14.95 value) when you bring your child with you to this event:
FBI Certified Biometric 10 Digit Fingerprint Profile.
High resolution full color Digital Photograph of your child.
A Child Safety Journal which will provide law enforcement officials with all the necessary vital information about your child and other important facts they will need immediately after a child is reported missing.
A Home DNA Identification Kit that is easy to use and lasts through generations.
There is no data basing on Saturday: After each child goes through the line, parents are handed a Child Safety Journal (which contains the Biometric Fingerprints and Digital Photo) and a DNA Kit. The DNA Kit contains detailed instructions on how to use the DNA Kit at home. The only record of the visit is handed to you to take home: The event sponsor keeps no records on file. You will also be given John Walsh’s Child Safety Tips. All the information provided at this Child Safety Program is recommended by child safety experts and law enforcement officials to be updated every 6 months.
If a child becomes missing, parents greatly increase their chance of quickly recovering their child if they immediately provide, a FBI Certified Biometric 10 Digit Fingerprint Profile, a DNA Sample, a High Resolution Full Color Photograph, and Current Statistical Information.

Coors Light Open – Fort Myers Country Club – ALL WEEKEND!
The Fort Myers Country Club is a joy to play. Designed by the great Donald Ross in 1916 and opened in 1917, it is one of the oldest facilities on the west coast of Florida and the Fort Myers Country Club plays like golf should be! Golfers find it to be a fun quality place. Walking is permitted every day of the year and any time of the day and rarely does a home come into play on the course. The “Fort”is truly a course of the ages.
The “Fort” also possesses another tradition. The Coors Open, a Pro-Am golf tournament that began in 1963 and is the longest running event in Southwest Florida. The 48th Annual Coors Open will be held this weekend, March 12-13,2009. One local writer refers to the Coors Light Open as the biggest little tournament in the United States. He´s so right! There is no charge for admission; no fee for parking and spectators can walk right next to the players! Wow, no wonder half of Southwest Florida comes to watch!
The Fort is set in a unique and warm setting in the heart of Fort Myers. The “Fort”is only one mile south of the Thomas Edison Home and fact tells us that Mr. Edison, Mr. Henry Ford and others loved to play the “Fort”in the 1920´s.
Fort Myers Country Club is located at 3591 McGregor Boulevard – you can’t miss it! Hope to see you all there!
