We had 28 runners and 62 walkers for a grand total of 90 participants. We were so glad that so many people turned out for our Mesita Village Fiesta Walk/Run. We started registering our participants early in morning about 7:00am. It was a nice cool morning, but started to get hotter as the day went on. All the participants made it through to the end despite how hot it became.

This was the third year of the Health Fair Native Youth Olympic Games at the Soboba Sports Complex. The Event hosted 126 youth! This was equivalent to the amount last year due to another conference and community event scheduled on the same day. The event offered multiple games for kids ages 4-17 to compete in, helpful information from clinic departments about their area of health and wellness, Junior Quisquis speak about helmet safety and sign autographs, Fancy Dancers, Raffles, snacks & lunch, DJ, and a Rock Wall. Also, children that placed as the top three competitors in their events were awarded engraved medals at the Awards Presentation Ceremonies by our RSBCIHI Board delegates; who also assisted departments with the races. We had the official Event Flag flying high at your clinics since January 2010 to motivate our youth to participate. We had such a positive response, encouraging feedback, and great success, that we are looking forward to planning the event next year. Our mission is to continue to help our community “Nurture Your Health Through Exercise!”

This was the second year that TM TANF Marriage Promotion department has hosted this event. This event was motivated by the 3rd Annual Canyon Walk in November 2008, in which, the lead coordinator, Tisha Vega, was inspired to begin a wellness through fitness event for her community. The event was coordinated by Lupe Sanchez this year and offered NIKE® gym sacks stuffed with goodies, T-shirts, and visors for the participants. Both a light breakfast and healthy lunch were provided, and Birdsingers performed for the first time this year. The event was hosted at the Agua Caliente Indian Canyons on the reservation. We are grateful that the Agua Caliente Tribe offered their canyons and staff, as well as the invitation to partner in the planning of this very successful event. We look forward to planning the 3rd Annual Spring Wellness Walk in 2011.

This was the second year that the TM TANF Youth Program requested the Diabetes Program to partner with them for this event. Participants completed the 6 mile walk from Key Key Tum Park to the TM TANF Offices. There were 4 participants less than last year, possibly due to the weather reports and it being the last weekend of the Indio Fair. All participants received a long-sleeve T-shirt, pedometers, water bottle walk pack, light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and information about our program.
