Meet Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson, see her profile here. If you want to see more of her, then you will want to put this on your list of things to do during the month of June, as you know The US Senate Has Declared June Internet Safety Month. 

WHAT:

Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson, working in partnership with Symantec, and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition will present awards to Senator Craig for co-sponsoring the US Senate declaration of June as National Internet Security Safety Month and Congressman Dingell for his active involvement in the Deleting Online Predators Act of 2006.

WHY:

The Internet is an exciting, eye-opening place for children, but it has more than its fair share of potential pitfalls, like inappropriate content, downloadable programs secretly laced with malicious code, and even stalkers and predators. There are also lesser-known hazards like cyberbullying, where someone uses his or her cool digital device to send or post messages or images intended to hurt or embarrass someone. More than 40 percent of teens have experienced some form of cyberbullying over the last year, and for teenage girls, the number is even higher.

Please join us to raise awareness of this very important issue.

WHERE:

U.S. Capitol Building, Cannon Caucus Room
