Description
This is the first year that TM TANF Marriage Promotion department has hosted a community wellness through fitness event. This event was motivated by the 3rd Annual Canyon Walk in November, in which, the lead coordinator, Tisha Vega, was inspired to begin a wellness through fitness event for her community. The event offered NIKE® gym sacks, T-shirts, and Hooded Sweatshirts for the participants. Both a light breakfast and healthy lunch were also provided. The event was hosted by the Agua Caliente Tribe at the Indian Canyons on the reservation. We are grateful that the Agua Caliente Tribe offered their canyons and staff, and well as the invitation to partner in the planning of this very successful event. We look forward to planning the 2nd Annual Spring Wellness Walk in 2010.
