NPO's First Community Resource Fair

There was a lively turnout at the Community Resource Fair last Friday, October 21st. at the NPO office.

Exhibitors included:

Al-Anon, AA, NA
Bay Area Transportation Authority
Comfort Keepers
Commission on Aging
Dental Clinic’s North
Father Fred
Goodwill Inn
Head Start Child and Family Development Programs
Michael’s Place
Northern Lakes Community Mental Health
Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency
WIC
Women’s Resource Center

Banners, brochures, and other educational materials were presented to area physicians and their office staff. The purpose of the fair was to provide an opportunity to have a face to face dialog with some of this region’s best community resources for patients.
Lunch was provided, and the door prize package from the Cherry Republic was awarded to Cynthia J. Petersen from Northern Lakes Community Mental Health.

Comments were very positive and NPO may host another community resource event in the future.
