Rockport’s Ashler Lodge Masons held a successful CHIP program at the  Rockport EMS Day “Touch a Truck, Save a Life” event at the DPW yard off of Upper Main St. on Sunday afternoon, May 16, 2004.  Sixty-four children were videotaped, fingerprinted and Toothprinted®.  All materials were given to the parents for safekeeping. No copies are ever kept on file and the program was free to all.
