Heartfelt Health Fair

What a great Health Fair last Saturday at the From the Heart Church.  The free dental care made me smile, as it included not just a checkup, but fillings, extractions and more. And, did you see that the Lions Club was there with optometrists providing free eye exams and glasses?  And, the Western University students and doctors were sweet to check our glucose and cholesterol. Other students gave it to us straight with their chiropractic adjustments  or massage therapy. Many stuck around for acupuncture treatments while others escaped into a virtual reality wearing cool reflective electric sunglasses.

Now, I hung out with the dozens of helpful vendors and organizations providing information and opportunities to improve our lives. My table sported flyers for Strengthening Families classes and postcards with information about Traffick Free Pomona and efforts to end human trafficking in our community and the world. Of course, the cookies and suckers on my table brought sweet visitors to my table. I was fortunate to be safely nestled between friendly Probation and DPSS.

The dedication, hard-work and loving attitude of the many volunteers were impressive and very much appreciated, along with the delicious breakfast ans lunch provided to the vendors and volunteers. The fair was so well organized with virtually no backups or mixups that I noted.  Here's a special shout-out to my new friend Ossie! Thanks for keeping me company and being such a wonderful humble helper.

Stay Healthy My Friends!
