Zezzo House hosts first-time health fair
The multicultural flair of Latino, West Indian and hip-hop music set the tone for a first-time health fair at Zezzo House on Saturday, July 11. Nearly 200 people from the community turned out for the event which featured healthcare information, HIV and diabetes screening, food and entertainment. The initiative, co-sponsored by Latino Community Services, exceeded its goal for HIV testing.

"Both were at great risk of demolition," the Hartford Preservation Alliance stated in its award announcement, "and both required emergency stabilization.... Both buildings have now been beautifully restored to historic standards throughout."

Executive Director Don Steinle and CAC Board President Robert Cushman accepted the award on behalf of the CAC.
