June 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Turlock, CA (June 2015) – GDI’s 5th Annual CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday free, family-friendly event sponsored by Capital Insurance Group® (CIG) and hosted by GDI Insurance was held recently at GDI Insurance Agency’s Turlock office at 801 Geer Road, Turlock, CA 95380, on Saturday, May 16, 2015.

According to Matthew Davis, Vice President of GDI Insurance Agency, “This is our fifth year hosting CIG Community Safety Saturday and it is our best event ever! The Sheriff’s Department, Police Department, Fire Department [and] KlaasKids were all here. This event can’t happen without all of these wonderful first responders. It’s kind of a ‘Who’s Who’ of safety.  I really want to thank Capital Insurance Group for partnering with GDI Insurance on this event. They make it possible; and together we really put on a nice event.”

Many elected officials and their representatives came to the CIG Community Safety Saturday event and presented proclamations and certificates of recognition to CIG Insurance, GDI Insurance Agency and KlaasKids Foundation. Expressing appreciation, Davis said, “It’s wonderful to be recognized by the United States Congress, the California Senate, the City of Turlock and the local Supervisors from the County for this important work! We share the honor with all who participated.” In attendance honoring these organizations were:

• Dana Ferreira, representing United States Congressman Jeff Denham

• Patricia O’Brien, representing California State Senator Tom Berryhill

and Assembly Member Kristen Olsen

• Supervisor Vito Chiesa  from the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors

• Matthew Jacob and Amy Bublak on behalf of City of Turlock Mayor Gary Soiseth

It wasn’t long before cars started lining up for the child car safety seat inspections, which is always a key activity at Community Safety Saturday. Over 19 free car safety seat inspections were conducted by trained technicians from the Turlock Police Department, California Highway Patrol and other safety organizations. Davis remarked, “Child car safety seats can be confusing to purchase and install. We thank the participating officers for providing this vital service and education.”

The KlaasKids Foundation is another important participant at every Community Safety Saturday. Marc Klaas, father of Polly Klaas and founder of KlaasKids Foundation said nearly 116 children were served with the Print-A-Thon program. Along with the fingerprint and photo ID docs for every child, Klaas also presented parents with a suite of child safety tools. He noted, “CIG and GDI take child safety very seriously. We appreciate their dedication and support.”

CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday was developed by CIG in 2010 and many well-attended events have been held throughout California and Nevada. The event features informative displays, large vehicles and equipment used by law enforcement agencies, activities and demonstrations to help improve the safety and security of children, teens, families and communities. Attendees enjoy free games, prizes, food and valuable materials and information provided by local and regional organizations.

Jeff Batozech, CIG Regional Field Executive for Northern California, remarked, “We are proud to partner with GDI Insurance, the KlaasKids Foundation and all of the participants to put on this important event. It is great to see so many families and children enjoy the activities and learn about safety at CIG Insurance Community Safety Saturday.”
