What an amazing day we had on Sunday! I now have my first big event under my belt, whew.
Thank you to all of our Sponsors, Vendors, Volunteers and Attendees who joined us for the 6th Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair. It is through our amazing community of healthcare providers that we were able to help the community to reconnect with their health.
Thank you also to the Planning Committee who organized the Fair from start to finish and worked together to make this event a huge success! It was such a pleasure to work with each and every one of you.
