Township to Host 3rd Annual Car Care Safety & Car Fit Clinic for Senior Citizens

On Saturday, September 17th, 2016, from 8:00 am to 11:00 am, the Downers Grove Township S.A.L.T. council (Seniors & Lawmen Together) will hold its Third Annual Senior Car Care Safety and Car Fit Clinic. We are excited to be adding the Car Fit this year to our clinic. Car Fit is a program that helps drivers be safer on the road by making sure that they “properly fit” their vehicle.

This event is FREE to older residents of Downers Grove Township. It will be held at the Westmont South Fire Station, located at 6015 South Cass Avenue on the east side of Cass and two blocks north of 63rd Street.

Local car care professionals and S.A.L.T. volunteers will provide vehicles with a free multiple point safety inspection; checking fluids, belts, hoses, tire condition, lights and more. Participants will also receive coupons from local auto service centers, information on other free senior services from local agencies, and complimentary morning refreshments.

This event is a collaboration of the Westmont Fire Department, DuPage County Sheriff’s Department, Westmont Park District, AARP, Car Fit, Friends for Downers Grove Township Senior Citizens, and the Downers Grove Township S.A.L.T. Council.

If you want further information or have questions, you can contact Senior Services Coordinator Hanna Benioff at (630) 719-6682 or via e-mail at hanna.benioff@dgtownship.com

So, if you are an older driver or know someone who is, please pass on information about this event. We sure hope to see you there.
