Better Life Through Better Health

"All My Shots By Two, Cause I’m Important to You," is the campaign slogan for the Genesee County Partnership for Immunizations. The coalition focuses on getting children fully immunized by the age of two.

To support this effort, all two-year-olds in Genesee County are invited to a birthday party in their honor. It will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2001, at Crossroads Village, in association with Kaleidoscope. The party will take place from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Participants will receive cake, ice cream, and gifts. Free shots and record checks will be available to ensure the children are up-to-date with their vaccinations. Parents and guardians are reminded to bring their children’s immunization records.

The children will also have the opportunity to take part in many Kaleidoscope activities. Kaleidoscope is sponsored by the Greater Flint/Thumb Area 4C’s Association, Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission, Greater Flint Arts Council, along with the Flint Journal. Bubble fun, painting, story telling, parachute play, paper hat making, and a magic show are just some of the planned events for the day. See the Flint Journal for a coupon for free entry to Crossroads Village for this event.
