 This
year, March 12 was designated as Total K Day. John Turner
and Gay Shenton organized support for the Victoria Elementary school
"Spring Fling." This consisted of a morning of fun and
games for the children of the school, their families, and people from
the neighborhood. While the children played games and won prizes,
tables were set up for the adults to learn more about what is available
in the community in terms of child health services, renter's rights,
First Aid classes from the Red Cross, and social services. The
children were especially interested in touring the EMT ambulance and the
fire engine provided by the San Bernardino Fire Department.
