The Health Fair Saved My Life
Last year I walked in off the street. My Cholesterol was very high (over 7). Bev Arsenault followed up with me and with her support I went to my Dr. and I  got a prescription as well I changed other life styles. Today (2009) it is 3.89. Thank You for organizing this event, I attribute it to saving my life.
