There are many events through the weekend, so check the schedule.
This year’s theme focuses on the community as a whole. We are RE-FRAMING how we think about our beloved Rondo Community. Each year when we talk about the Rondo community, images of a lost, broken and devastated community appear in the news, are discussed on the radio, and re-appear in our hearts and minds. Well it’s time to CELEBRATE our community and the Rondo Lifestyle. The RONDO HEALTHY LIFESTYLE is something we live everyday. It is strong and vibrant. It celebrates the diversity and strengths of its people, and continues to educate it’s people on making healthy lifestyle choices for its physical, mental, social and spiritual well being and KMOJ-FM 89.9 (http://KMOJFM.com/) is calling upon all its supporters and listeners to SPONSOR, CONTRIBUTE, SUPPORT, VOLUNTEER and get involved with this year’s Rondo Days Celebration
