 See you next year.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="53e58140.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="788" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> 2007 Health Fair:  We had approximately 200 registrants, a confusion at the sign in table had our folks telling some not to bother to register.  We did 126 flu shots and the counts of the other tests were similar.  It was difficult to know since we had more than one group offering some screening tests.  Thanks to the Horizon HS ROTC and The Boy Scouts Troop 55 for your extra support in setup and flyers deliveries.  Thanks to the new sponsors this year which helped cover some increased costs.  See you next year.</div> <div> 2006 Health Fair:  This year we had 192 registrants, did 128 flu shots, 67 hearing exams, 55 kids fingerprints, and 45 Amber Alert cards and registrations.  Over 100 persons did the cholesterol and glucose tests.  Thanks to all for your support.  </div> <div> The 2005 Health Fair was a big success, 260 persons registered, 160 flu shots were done and numerous other eye exams, glucose tests, cholesterol tests etc.  We had a lot of fun giving out a couple dozen prizes, one every few minutes.   Snacks were donated by Senior Center members, the prizes by various participants and the Lions Club donated a small propane grille as the 12 Noon grand prize.</div> <div> Do plan to attend next year.  Exhibitors are welcome.</div> <div> For 2004 we have tentatively set the date and time as Oct 23, 2004  8AM until 12Noon.  This year we also plan a prize drawing at the close to encourage participants to stay around and visit all the exhibits.   If you have an interest in participating (space is limited) send an email to:</div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:tdir@tcashe.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:tdir@tcashe.com"><U>tdir@prodigy.net</U></A></div> <div> The 2004 Health Fair on Oct 16 went surprisingly well for the tests we offered.  A crowd of 175 to 200 persons participated in the eye exams, hearing tests, cholesterol and other tests available.  There were no flu shots or pneumonia shots available at the time due to the well known problems with the vaccine supply.  So wish us better luck next year on the vaccines.</div> <div> Well folks, the 2003 Fair is done.   We did 110 flu shots, 50 hearing tests, and 26 eye exams (the eye exam team was a bit late getting there)  Lots of cholesterol/blood sugar tests but that team got away without telling us their final count.  Next year we expect to open earlier (8 AM suggested) and go until noon and also hold the Fair at an earlier date.   Our tCashe members received the flyer below with their monthly newsletter.  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
