                        Helping Underprivileged Groups Survive, Inc. (HUGS)

WHAT:             Your Health is Your Wealth Fair  

WHEN:             Saturday, September 5
                        10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

WHERE:           3900 block of North 10th Street, in front of the Lenfest PAL Center

DETAILS:         This free health fair, which is open to the public, will feature health screenings, seminars, exhibitors, free food, giveaways and children’s activities. The senior corner will feature health talks, a fitness demonstration, healthy snacks and more.

Also that day at 10:30 a.m., the Senator will recognize eight police officers for their efforts to stop a violent incident last year. In August 2008, the officers intervened in a shooting incident involving several young men. The officers’ actions undoubtedly saved the lives of individuals attending a reunion at a nearby playground, including the senator, who was standing just 25 feet from the shooting.

The senator credits Lt. Thomas McLean, Sgt. Eric Gripp and Officers Phillip Sprague, Christopher Dougherty, Michael Vargas, Dominic Mathis, Ryan Sullivan and Joseph Inamorato for protecting her and reunion attendees from harm.
