6th Annual Stride and
Ride. The weather was a bit colder than expected, but
that just encouraged everyone to go faster! This year's event
included a festival which many claimed to be a success. Many thanks to the numerous volunteers,
partners
and sponsors who made the day run so smoothly.
Mark
your calendars & join the fun next year on Saturday,
September 29, 2007, at Westwood Park, Henry County,
Indiana!
- Hundreds of New Castle Elementary students joined students from
around the globe for International Walk to
School Day on
Wednesday, October 4, 2006. The weather was perfect &
the students had a blast!
- It is time to order trees!
Henry County will plant 600 more trees in 2007 thanks to all of our
student and adult volunteers. Our
Tree
Planting total in the last ten years is well over 5000 trees! Each fall we
place an order for native trees that will be planted the following
spring. Your donations help us to afford the
trees that are planted locally. It is easy to join Healthy
Communities - just call 765-529-2916 or email us at
