Another successful Community Health Fair
By Kim Mueller
The 2nd annual Grand Ronde Community Health Fair focused on "Safety First," and was
held on Friday, September 12 at Grand Ronde Elementary School. This event originated last
year at a Service Integration meeting due to the need for immunizations, and now has
become an annual community event.
There were many new additions to this year's Health Fair, including a spaghetti dinner and
an evening presentation on "Managing Conflict at Home." The evening, which was co
sponsored by the Tribal Community Resources Division, had a great turnout of 1 25 people
for dinner and 45 adults for the presentation.
Cinder, a dalmation from Marion County Fire District, demonstrated Stop, Drop, and Roll.
Also visiting was Wolf, the K-9 dog owned by Deputy Todd Steele. Another added service
was vision, motor skills, and language screenings for 3 and 4 year olds.
LifeFlight landed again in the school yard next to the Willamina Fire and Rescue Truck
demo. Back again for a second year was fingerprint ID's by local S.A.L.T. volunteers, the
Tribe's Dental and Wellness staff, McGruff, Commission for the Blind's hands-on use of
canes, water safety, and many valuable information booths.
Thank you to all volunteers who made this Health Fair another successful year for the
kids and families in the Grand Ronde Community.
