he overwhelming success of the 1st
ANNUAL COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR
held at Grand Ronde Elementary School
on September 6 has helped raise health
awareness for parents and provided
valuable information to families. Overall,
the Fair provided 60 immunizations to
children in the community, 400 fingerprint
identifications, drug and alcohol infor
mation through the successful puppet
show on substance abuse, and disability
and safety awareness. Law enforcement
officers handed out hundreds of cards
with autographs, and shared information
about community safety with students.
Bill Shonley, radio announcer for the
Portland Trailblazers, and spokesman for
Oregon LifeFlight Network, came in on
helicopter and signed autographs while
the kids had a chance to tour the LifeFlight
Chopper. Crime fighting dog McGruff was
also there to visit with the children.
Service Integration can meet the needs
of community members in a convenience
and stress-free manner by uniting local
service providers as a team. Sponsored
in part by Polk County Service Integra
tion, the Fair was designed to provide
"one stop shopping" for parents and fami
lies for community and social services
available. It was this joint effort of ser
vice providers in Polk and Yamhill coun
ties, the Grand Ronde Tribe, and numer
ous local business people who made this
Health Fair not only a success, but a new
tradition. Thanks to all who participated.
