The Maranatha Seven Day Adventist church hosted its first free community health fair at the North Florida Fair grounds today.

More than 300 people showed up for free health screenings, food, and clothing give-aways.

Organizers say they want everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, to take care of their overall well-being.

"Whatever we can do to help. We want to be relevant, and we want to be meaningful," said James James, event organizer.

Organizers say the Community Health Fair will become an annual event in May.

Thanks for the heads up - NOT! According to your "post" time this story wasn't posted until 5:23 p.m. on Sunday, so how was this advertised to the public so people knew about it? Posted: 5:43 PM May 23, 2010

Do you think concealed guns should be allowed on college campuses?

Yes - they should be allowed
Yes - but only with a permit
No - I don't want guns on campus


The faculty senate at Valdosta State University is taking a stand against concealed guns on campus. They unanimously passed a resolution last week to keep guns out of the classrooms and off university grounds. The faculty senate is standing in opposition to house bill 981. The bill proposed allowing citizens the right to carry concealed weapons into bars.. churches.. college campuses and even elementary schools.
