4) LATINO OUTREACH
We have given away thousands of our Spanish coloring books El Arco Iris
Vegetariano. These have gone to young people when we've tabled at Latino
Festivals, and to other groups to give out from El Paso to Washington State
to Florida.
They have been shared with first graders by a school nurse working in a
depressed economic community in California. And the booklets have even
traveled to Ecuador.
We are out of the coloring books and need $600 to reprint. Please
consider donating $10, $25, $50, or $100. Of course with a $500
donation, we can reproduce more, and even cover some of the postage.
To donate, go to [ www.vrg.org/donate ]
Write Spanish coloring books in the comments section. Or send to
VRG
P.O. Box 1463
Baltimore, MD 21203
Thank you so much for your support.

5) BARNARD MEDICAL CENTER
The Barnard Medical Center, which opened on Jan. 5, 2016 in Washington,
DC, says:
The Barnard Medical Center provides more than medical care. It also
helps you tackle the root causes of illness, with extra attention on
improving health through prevention and nutrition. That means that,
although medications often play a key role in health, if your problem is
nutritional, we will help you tackle that, too. Perhaps you won't need
medications at all.
