Join us on Sept 13th for our annual car seat check!#ChildPassengerSafetyWeek 🚗👶
We’re partnering with the eKiwanis Club of Greater Chicago and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) for Child Passenger Safety Week, running Sept. 21–27, to help keep kids safe while traveling in our community.
📅 Kickoff Event: National Seat Check Saturday 🗓 Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025 🕐 1:00 – 5:00 PM 📍 St. Andrew United Methodist Church 250 N. Gary Ave, Carol Stream, IL 60188
👮 Our certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be available to: • Check your child’s car seat to make sure it’s in #TheRightSeat • Provide step-by-step guidance on installing and using car seats correctly
This event is one of 92 statewide seat check events sponsored by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
📊 Why it matters: • Research shows 46% of car seats are misused • The most common mistakes: o Children in the wrong seat for their age/size o Improper installation • In 2021, over one-third of children (12 and under) killed in crashes were not buckled up.
👉 The No. 1 rule: Never let your child ride unbuckled — not even for a short trip. This campaign is funded by federal traffic safety funds from NHTSA, administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

*** Event Description ***
Night OWLS (Night Out With Loving Sitters) is a non-sectarian ministry of First United Methodist Church in Arlington Heights, open to families throughout the northwest suburbs. Originally designed as a respite program for parents of special needs children, it has evolved into something more: still a delightful evening out for parents but also fun for all the children and our volunteers. There is quite a range of disabilities, though we are not able to accept medically fragile children.
Special needs children and their siblings, ages 2-12, enjoy a pizza supper at 6:00 pm. After dinner, all children can visit different activity stations throughput the lower level of the church. Crafts, large motor equipment, movies, computer games, Lego building, board games, and more are included each evening. Each special needs child has his/her own adult buddy and all children are supervised by a youth or adult. Parents must pick up children by 9:00 pm.
We are not a large program, we advertise by word-of-mouth, and we try to accept all interested families each month.
Spend the evening with a bunch of super kids with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by playing games and crafting!
** Must undergo background check for this project **
