4th Annual Family Fun Day and Health Fair to be held at Prairie Elementary School September 11, 2009 The Valley Hi Youth and Adult Coalition (VHYAC) will host their 4th Annual Family Fun Day and Health Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2009 at Prairie Elementary School. Valley Hi community members are invited to spend the day participating in fun, family-centered activities and receive valuable health information and resources. This free event will include vision screening, blood pressure and dental checks, as well as a variety of community-based informational booths. Parents will be able to register their children for preschool and kindergarten. In addition to these activities, there will be entertainment, face painting, crafts and prizes. New this year is the Farm Stand, which will provide low cost fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. The first 300 visitors to the event will receive a free lunch. “VHYAC is dedicated to supporting the Valley Hi community,” said Tami Silvera, Project Implementor with Positive Youth Development Programs, Student Support and Health Services for Elk Grove Unified. “We know that many families are in need and under stress so we plan to provide not only valuable resources, but also a chance to have some fun with their kids. We encourage families with children of all ages to join us for the day.” The Family Fun Day and Health Fair is sponsored in part by Sacramento City Councilmember Robbie Waters, the City of Sacramento Neighborhood Services Department, VHYAC, Valley Hi Family Resource Center and Birth & Beyond Program, the Elk Grove Unified School District, Kaiser Permanente, Alchemist Community Development Corporation, and the First 5 Sacramento Commission.
