The Importance of Hand Washing
I. Attention/Introduction
A. Attention Getter. How would you feel if one of your loved ones died, because of what he ate at a restaurant, was touched by unsanitized hands? A restaurant in Redwood, California closed down, because Constance Williams who was 53 years of age, died by food poisoning.
