If you want to plan a booth for the Galveston Health Fair, you need to plan it now and attend the meeting on Dec. 5. One idea would be to have education, demonstration of smoking cessation products (gum, patches, etc) and a spirometer to measure lung capacity/peak flow. If you want to plan a health screening/education section, contact Dorothy Pearrow with your idea. You will then need to contact Sarah Dunn, 692-0640 and attend the Dec. 5 meeting.
