The third of four Summer
Neighborhood Festivals took place at Lafayette Park on July 25, 2006.
The Festivals began as a Neighborhood Council project and have become a
corner piece of summer fun in Fall River. They provide an
opportunity for neighbors to meet each other in a fun environment, as
well as heart-healthy activities and good food. Human service
organizations, including the Family
Service Association,
HealthFirst Family Care Center,
WIC (Women, Infants, Children) Nutrition Program, the
Mass. Dept. of Social Services.
The Girl Scouts of Southeastern
Massachusetts, were also on hand with information and fun
activities. Organized by
Community Coordinator
Maureen Estes in partnership with Community Development Recreation
and the
Fall River Police Department. Click here
