Another Successful Community Wellness Fair 2012

We are very appreciative of our community partners that provided a host of resources and information to the community at Aban's 7th Annual Community Wellness Fair held October 6, 2012 at Anacostia Park Roller Skating Pavilion, a National Park Service treasure.  Enjoy photos celebrating a great time, as well as, National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, National Breast Cancer Month and, National Roller Skating Month. It was an inter generational celebration of fun, family, healthy food, friendship, and community based services.
