RTLC Health Fair Success
(Mike Gilhooly – RTLC) Friday August 6th the parking lot of the Response to Love Center was transformed into a huge Health Fair for the people of the neighborhood surrounding the center. With perfect weather, almost 100 people were in attendance to take advantage of the services offered. Many got valuable information regarding health insurance programs, HIV testing, Blood pressure and sugar levels, and much more.
The kids had a lot to do also with a free bounce house and games. Refreshments included hot dogs and hamburgers, fruit juices and fruit smoothies, granola snacks and water. A special thank you to all the Partners that participated and made our first annual Health Fair a success. More photos at http://www.topmapsearch.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=46
