[Lucy Sharratt - CBAN Coordinator]

Dear Friends in and @ the Vancouver Area,
Come on out this Friday for a fun night of dancing and help raise funds for
the Umbrella Mobile Clinic!
Noche de Salsa is an evening of dancing and socializing in support of a
health clinic for migrant farm workers in BC
Saturday October 3, 2015 8:00 PM to Sunday October 4, 2015 1:00 AM
The Hall at 1739 Venables, Vancouver, Canada
<http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Vancouver%20Canada>
The evening will kick off with a free salsa lesson from Micheal Gabriel
Rosen of Mas Movement <http://www.masmovement.ca/mas-movement> . In addition
to salsa dancing, there will be a silent auction and drinks and snacks
available for purchase.
The Umbrella Mobile Clinic provides a service that supports our entire
community. Even though migrant farm workers pay for health insurance,
language, cultural and transportation barriers create challenges for them to
access mainstream health care. The mobile clinic provides a unique health
service that addresses these barriers ­ several Sundays a month we travel
to the Fraser Valley and set up a mobile medical clinic that provides health
services in Spanish, with cultural supports, in locations and at times that
are easiest for the farm workers to access. We also support them with
transportation and logistics for follow-up and specialist appointments. The
clinic is staffed primarily by volunteers, including an exceptional team of
doctors, dentists and enthusiastic community members.
All proceeds go directly to the Umbrella Mobile Clinic. If you cannot make
it to the event, but still want to contribute, we will gratefully accept any
donations (tax receipt will be provided). Please visit our website
