DISCUSSION
The Town-wide picnic sponsored by the Fairfax Volunteers is scheduled for Sunday, September 18, 2022, from 12 noon- 5 pm on Contratti Ball Field.
The picnic will be partnering with the Spahr Center, a non-profit community agency devoted to serving, supporting and empowering Marin’s Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Trans & Queer (LGBTQ) population. The Spahr Center was awarded a grant from Vaccinate All 58 to support COVID vaccine events in the neighborhoods utilizing trusted messenger strategies.
The Spahr Center will have four booths at the Town picnic, whereby they will be sharing educational information, offering COVID vaccines (administered by the Marin County Department of Health & Human Services) and providing HIV test kits. Additionally, they will be performing a drag show during the event.
The Town-wide picnic will also feature live music, food trucks, beverages for sale, games, and kid’s arts & crafts activities. There will be a Ross Valley Fire Department truck on site, as well as a Fairfax Police Department vehicle for children to tour.
The upper Pavilion parking lot will be closed to accommodate the food trucks and emergency vehicles.
