HAPPY Thanks - Given!!

While we were unable to host our Annual Community Wellness Fair at Anacostia Park Roller Skating Rink (a National Park Service park) this year due to the government shutdown; we do appreciate everyone's support of our endeavor.  Many thanks are given to each of you for your many years of support! However, all is not lost!!

We are excited about our upcoming event on Monday, November 25, 2013. We have partnered with the Community of Potomac Garden and Daddy's Corner to host a health event called Thanks - Given,  Health and Happiness: A Community Celebration of Wellness.

Daddy's Corner will provide FREE FRESH PRODUCE for your Thanksgiving Meal.  Aban will be providing you with health and wellness information to enjoy the holiday while staying healthy.  Check out the flyer.

Enjoy Thanksgiving and Stay Healthy and Happy
