Local organizations and residents gathered at the Parkridge Community Center in Ypsilanti Saturday for an information fair aimed at promoting change for the better in the lives of those living on the city's south side. The fair, sponsored by the Community Organizing Team, included health screening and information, a display commemorating Black History Month and information on career fields and opportunities.
