National Health Center Week

FREE Family Fun Night!
Bassett Family Practice

Date: Wednesday, August 12th, 2009
Time: 6:00pm until 8:30pm

Location:
Bassett Family Practice
324 TB Stanley Highway
Bassett, Virginia (beside of Subway)

To celebrate National Health Center Week and to offer our community a taste of the services offered at Bassett Family Practice, the MHC Coalition for Health and Wellness will host a Family Fun Night, Wednesday, August 12th from 6:00pm until 8:30pm. At the celebration, there will be lots of activities for the entire family to enjoy; including fun stuff for kids (face painting, fire and rescue demos and bike safety), health screenings and recipe demonstrations. We will also have an “immunization station” where parents can find useful information regarding their child’s vaccines. With the beginning of the school year just around the corner, it is im­portant that parents realize the steps they need to take to get their children prepared.

We encourage the entire community to take part in this FREE event and to see firsthand what the benefits are by having a community health center like BFP available to you.

Hi all,Our church is putting on a Summer Music Drama Camp for the first time. It is next week (10th-14th) at First Pres. As of today, not enough kids have signed up. It is for K-2nd grade, but Betsy Haskins, who is doing it, said that Grayson can do it and I'm certain your kids could, too. That week it is from from 9 - noon. THey would be doing Three Piggy Opera, set design, etc. There is a $10 fee for non-members and she is also seeking volunteers who want to help. If you are interested, please call Betsy ASAP - her number is 632-3119. Can also probably call the church. She was going to make the call on Monday, so call today if you can.

Pass this along to others that you think might be interested.

Thanks! LeAnna Blevins
