The 15th Annual
Health Fair, organized by Citizens for
Citizens and held at
Diman Vocational Regional
Technical High School, drew hundreds of people for the three and a
half-hour event. This was the final year that Rosanne Sullivan at
Citizens for Citizens has organized the event, something she has done
for the past fifteen years. It is the largest such event in the city and
features booths from dozens of local healthcare provider as well as a
number of health prevention and promotion activities for the children
who are bussed in for the event. Students from the Diman LPN program
provide much of the manpower and donations from Xavier's Florist, New
York Bagel, Dunkin Donuts, Cirelli Foods, Dominos Pizza and the Diman
Culinary Arts Department ensure that the event is successful every year. |
