Vacca to Host Community Health Fair Saturday, November 19th, 2011

There is health fare tomorrow at the Kips Bay Boys club. If your elderly or one of America's uninsured, please do review the services available tomorrow.

For anyone who has children, tomorrows events will be a great opportunity to visit and inspect the Kips Boy Boys Club. It truly is one of our boroughs success stories. Much of my youth was spent at the complex. They had a great swim program.

810 Studio Health Fair set for Saturday May 7th

The following note was sent by Christina Drossakis. She is involved in an organization called “810 Studio”. They are hosting a health fair this Saturday, May 7th. Please do review the post below for more information. Please note they have booth space available. At $10 a both it seems more philanthropic than commercial. I hope it this is only a start for them. Good luck to 810 Studio and everyone involved. Once again all grass roots events for the community will be supported by the BoogieDowner.
