Editor’s letter

Dear readers, I receive you with usual pleasure, sending a cordial welcome to all of you and families. The month of October begins, autumn is arriving in our region and the heat goes away little by little and the leaves of the trees begin to change their colors and nature becomes like a carpet of yellow, orange, red colors, which they become a multicolored fan that welcomes this magical fall season!

The outdoor events are unstoppable this September and October; sold-out concerts and events that have been well known and attended. One of my favorite one, is Tucson Meet Yourself, which celebrates its 48th anniversary in Tucson, a spectacular and completely family-friendly festival! On Friday, October 8-10, in downtown Tucson, at Plaza Jacome. A unique festival where culture, arts, music, and food from various countries around the world come together these three days. There will be social distancing measures, they are asked to use face masks and there will be sanitation areas. For more information visit https://tucsonmeetyourself.org/

Another event, which all of you should attend, is the Community Health Fair, on Saturday, October 23 at El Pueblo Center, in the Courtyard area from 10 am-1pm. There will be health resources available, as well as several health businesses, Flu and Covid-19 vaccines will be available, information, resources, and gifts from our sponsors and organizations that will be in attendance.

The cherry on the pie, is our amazing annual event, which is expected by many people, this year celebrating our 10th anniversary, we present to you the traditional Annual Thanksgiving Festival, this will  be held on Saturday, November 20^th  at TucsonClínica Medica Familiar, located at 3770 S. 16th St. (Ajo & 16th) from 10 am-2pm, we will be giving away many, many turkeys for the whole family! in addition there will be live music, dances, singers, raffles, free information and community resources, vaccinations and many surprises.

I want to say goodbye with my recommendation. We continue to see countless cases, of families who are still in hospitals dying because they did not get the covid-19 vaccine. We are a country, in where many services are offered to us at no cost and this is one of them. Do not miss the opportunity to continue living and enjoy what life offers to us and to our families.           It is very sad to see, that young people, children, and adults are being turned off by ignoring it. Vaccines have existed for more than 100 years and have shown us throughout history that they have saved humanity from many diseases and health crises. Don’t wait, it can be too late!

Difficulties are meant to wake us up, not to discourage us. The human spirit grows through conflict. Life is short, smile at those who cry, ignore those who criticize you and be happy with someone you care!
