Multicultural
Health Fair - April 24th |
On
Saturday, April 24 from 11am-3pm,
APAMSA will be participating in the Linda Vista Multi-Cultural
Fair in Linda Vista. The purpose of this street fair is to
celebrate the cultural diversity of the area. We will share
a table with the Union of Pan Asian Communities and offer
a mini "health fair" where vital signs will be taken
and health information on hepatitis and more will be offered.
Come
out to the fair for food and entertainment. There will be
lots of different ethnic food and entertainment (Haiwaiian
dancers, circus performers, dragon dance, Philippino dance
troops, Latino dance troops and much more). There is also
a parade at 11am to kick off the fair.
For
more information, visit www.lindavistafair.org
