San Bernardino County Supervisor Josie Gonzales and Assemblymember Cheryl Brown attended the Latino Health Collaborative’s Posada Navideña, a winter holiday event at Muscoy Elementary School. They wished everybody a Merry Christmas and took pictures with Santa Clause and students from Muscoy Elementary School. Posadas are a cultural tradition rooted in the blending of Christianity with Mesoamerican cultures. The word posada means shelter or lodging, and refers to the place Jesus Christ was born. With roots in Spain and Catholicism, the posada has been practiced in Mexico since the 16th century. To this day, people in Mexico and Central America mark the nine days for Christmas by holding a posada each night.
The Latino Health Collaborative (LHC) was launched in November of 2004 as a group of community stakeholders focused on finding ways to increase access to care and to eliminate health disparities. In this relatively short period, LHC has garnered the reputation as a leader in community organizing, coalition building, and health policy advocacy and has experienced rapid growth, from a handful of committed individuals to over 50 members representing faith- and community-based organizations, county behavioral and health departments, community clinics, hospitals, school districts, and representatives of county, and state elected officials.
The event provided gifts to hundreds of children in the Muscoy Learn more at http:/www.latinohealth.org Elementary School area.

Inspired by the British Museum’s highly successful exhibit, “A History of the World in 100 Objects," curators at the Riverside Metropolitan Museum have carefully selected a wide assortment of 50 objects to represent Riverside’s past. Alone, each object may not tell a story, but together they create a context which reveals the history of Riverside along the way. Mammoth molars, stage coach foot warmers, comal cooking stones, chinese medicine bottles, photographs, and more will reveal the rich history of Riverside from pre-history to 1930. Highlights from Riverside's history also include: Spring Rancheria, Chinatown, John W. North, early transportation, the citrus boom, Harada family, water, recreation, fire department, and more! The exhibit will be installed in two parts: the first part which will be on display from March 7, 2013 through January 4, 2015 will cover the prehistory of the region and take us through 1930. The second installation will cover modern Riverside history from 1930 to present. Learn more at http://riversideca.gov/museum/
