Wellness Club members and advisors hope to build on the momentum gained last year. Due to the virtual nature of this fair (necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic), they expect that they can captivate an even larger audience and make the 2021 Wellness Fair a districtwide, and possibly a countywide, event.
