Trying to gather all the people!
Then, after all of the work of yelling and pointing…the smoke from the grill covered my lens at the same time I pressed click and this is how the photo came out…
Thank God for Felipe, the other photographer!
Saturday, October 19, 2013 the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center hosted a community health walk around the neighborhood and Crotona Park.
It started 9:30 in the morning, supplying the supporters with a light breakfast and ended at 12 noon with a delicious lunch.
Even though it was staged as a health walk, it was more than that. It was a community gathering and information session. Before we set out to walk, the director of the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center, Heidi Hynes, welcomed the sponsoring organizations that came to support the Mary Mitchell:
Together as a community we marched around the neighborhood chanting songs and holding signs promoting fair economy,physical activity, access to fresh food, school health, good housing, a clean environment and individual wellness.
The Tanima Dancers were there to entertain the crowd.
While waiting for the walk to get started, some of the young men started a game of basketball.
