V4CF needs marchers and booth staffers for health information rally Saturday, June 27

In conjunction with Organizing For America's 'National Healthcare Day of Service', Volunteers For Change-Fresno members are invited to participate in the Youth and Community Health March, scheduled 7:15 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27.

Sponsored by Helping Our Own Destiny (HOOD), the event will feature a march from the Kearny Palms Shopping Center to City Hall, as well as an information fair for AIDS awareness and prevention in City Hall Plaza after the march.

Volunteers for Change-Fresno members are invited to participate in both the march and the health fair afterward by staffing our health-fair booth. Booth activities will include registering voters, providing information about healthcare reform, and children's activities, such as games and coloring-book pages focused on health and safety.

Planning to march? Assemble at 7:15 a.m. outside the Kearny Palms Shopping Center, at the corner of Fresno and C Streets near downtown. The march is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m., and will proceed along a roughly one-mile route to City Hall Plaza in downtown Fresno.

Staffing the booth? To help set up the booth, meet at 8 a.m. at City Hall Plaza. V4CF members marching are also invited to help staff the booth during the health fair at one of two shifts, beginning at either 8 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. We also plan to help clean up City Hall Plaza by picking up trash after the events.

Want to participate? Contact V4CF event organizer Kris Arden at (559) 978-1736 or via e-mail. Please let Kris know if you plan to participate as a marcher, a booth staffer, or both. If you plan to staff the booth, also let Kris know whether you prefer the 8 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. shift.

We hope to see you there Saturday!
