On Saturday, May 5, 2007 from 9:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., Atlas Pythagoras No.10 provided to the community again with its Annual Children's I.D. Program or C.H.I.P.S. The C.H.I.P.S addresses the alarming fact that more and more children are reported missing each year. While most are found, many are not.

The Masonic CHIP program consists of four parts, photo, video interview, fingerprinting and tooth print, making CHIP the most comprehensive program available. ALL of the identifying materials generated by the program are given to the child's family. We retained none of the information. The program was offered to the public at no charge!

The event was spearheaded by R.W. Nicholas L. Pagnetti and he received assistance from many Brethren and non-Masons alike towards documenting a total of 91 children. This carnival-like affair offered complementary cookies, soft drinks, balloons and friendly atmosphere and conversations was enjoyed by all. Thank you to everyone who worked and participated in this most important program to protect our children. . We hope that you will join us again next year.

The following Brethren and Friends attended, worked or gave moral support to the C.H.I.P.S. program. How good and how pleasant is for Brethren to work in unity.
