Laredo, TX—The City of Laredo Health Department (CLHD) is inviting the public to join an innovative and exciting Diabetes Education Prevention initiative “Healthy Living/Viviendo Mejor”.  This is the third cycle to help increase prevention, awareness, reduce risks of diabetes and its complications and improve diabetes self management to prevent this illness, which affects many in our community.  

 HLVM just graduated its second class and is currently seeking fifty (50) people to enroll in the third cycle. What is unique about these sessions is that it focuses on the family and community at large who are at risk of diabetes.  HLVM helps persons take control of their chronic disease with self management and risk reduction classes, cooking lessons, fitness activities and peer support activities. Participants of the first session commented that what they learned during this program was life changing!

 These free interactive classes are being offered to persons with diabetes but as important, to their family members and/or persons at risk of developing diabetes. We want to intervene before someone develops diabetes and/or its complications.  All persons enrolled in the group will also get free diabetes screening.

 Got a bike that’s not trail ready?  Got a whole garage full of them?  Can’t afford the parts?  Been wondering where to ride in Laredo?

 Have we got a deal for you!

 The Big River Foundation teams up with Ciclo Mania, and all local riders to offer another free mountain bicycle repair clinic and ride.  Bring an old bike in need of tire, chain, spoke or other repair to the Rio Grande Plaza Hotel at 1 South Main Ave, this Cinco de Mayo between 3 and 6 p.m.  We’ll pay for any parts you may need, & show you how to install them FREE. 

 Afterwards you’re invited to join us for an escorted ride along the Rio Grande, to the “Lost Lakes” and Las Palmas Park.  Rides start as soon as you fix your bike and continue until 8 p.m. 

 Poolside party and barbeque for all who volunteer their help.

 Laredo’s free bike repair clinics are paid for by a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Community Outdoor Outreach Program.

Each team played three games.  The tournament started at 8:20 in the morning and continued late in the evening.  The tournament showcased some of the best local talent in Laredo at every elementary grade level in boys and girls basketball.  Trophies and medals were given to the top two teams in their respective divisions.
