Events and activities so far:
* Today, September 8th, we participated in a Summer Festival for at-risk youth hosted by Family Tree Gemini Outreach at the Boulder Bandshell. We set up a small display with our brochures and with giveaways (magnets in the shape of a band-aid with our name and phone). Twenty four adolecents participated in the event which included a B.B.Q, music, and other community resources such as the Boulder County Health Department's HIV and STI Outreach, and the Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence.
* In the past week we have personally distributed over 570 clinic brochures in English and Spanish to 10 different organizations in Boulder. We have over 70 organizations to visit still. Some of the organizations visited include:
- Genesis - A program for pregnant and parenting teens and their families
- Emergency Family Assistance
- Special Transit
- Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence
- West Boulder Senior Center
- Exempla Medical Center
- The Vet Center
- Boulder County Public Health - Sundquist site
* On August 9th, during National Health Center Week, the clinic hosted the first annual Women's Health Fair. Free clinical breast exams, pap smears and mammograms were provided for women who qualified. This event was very important in raising awareness about breast and cervical cancer. Mammograms and Pap tests save lives because cancer can be cured when it is found early.
* On August 31st we completed the preparation of the program's strategic plan for the year. In this document we clearly mapped out the goals and objectives for the program and detailed the activities we will implement to achieve our goals. We welcome opportunities to discuss our strategic plan with other organizations that have an interest in sharing ideas for community outreach.
* And finally, today we launched this blog to chronicle our efforts and to announce our events and activities.
