RECAP | Plainfield's Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration |
|
On Friday, October 8th the City kicked off the Indigenous Peoples Day Weekend with a blast as members of the community joined the City of Plainfield at its Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration. Mayor Adrian O. Mapp provided remarks and announced the winners of our Plainfield Wins Vaccination Lottery for the month of September. Remarks by Council Vice President Barry Goode, County Commissioner Rebecca Williams, and County Commissioner Sergio Granados were also heard.
The event featured free food, Love Plainfield giveaways, COVID-19 vaccines & testing, and much more. In addition, live performances were given by Jhankely Varges (10 years old), Hannah Villabolos (11 years old), Leonardo Martinez (11 years old), and Yoselin Melendez (17 years old). With every song lyric that was heard, dance move witnessed, and note played, the love and pride these kids felt for their heritage and the City of Plainfield was felt.

If you feel or suspect you are suffering from a mental health issue, depression, or are having trouble operating on a day-to-day basis, please contact the Mental Health Association of New Jersey. You can call or text 973-571-4100 or speak to someone in person at 673 Morris Avenue Suite 100 Springfield,New Jersey.

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH |
|
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of breast cancer. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Although breast cancer is not an illness that can be prevented, one can still be proactive about our health. Early detection is key to a successful outcome. The statistic shows that when breast cancer is detected early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Take control of your life and do monthly breast self-exams and schedule regular clinical breast exams and mammograms.
