Cesar Chavez Health Fair – the spirit of diversity alive in festivities, food, music, and community
On Saturday March 20th, community members came together to create the 10th Annual Cesar Chavez Day Health Fair at Roseland Elementary School. Embracing Cesar Chavez’s "Si se puede" ("Yes we can") legacy, local non-profit leader
CalSERVES coordinated a spirited and colorful event engaging hundreds of local community members, service organizations, and AmeriCorp volunteers. Sponsored by
First 5 of Sonoma County,
Kaiser Permanente,
St. Joseph’s Health System,
Redwood Credit Union, and
Community Action Partnership, this community festival embodied a spirited message of health, fun, and community.
Parents visited information booths shaking hands with Sheriff’s Department representatives, getting on the spot job counseling and educational guidance from SRJC staff, or support from the Women’s Initiative for starting entrepreneurial businesses. The Community Childcare Council also welcomed parents, offering help paying for childcare or selecting quality preschools.
As crowds milled about exploring community resources, entertainers such as Windsor Bloco put on a raucous show. The rhythmic beat of the preformers’ drums and feet added to the upbeat aura of the fair. While fair participants represented a range of ethnic backgrounds, ages, and community roles, the message of "yes we can come together to improve our community health" resounded in the bright smiles of all involved.
