Adults and children had a chance to play a card game while learning the principles of healthy living recently when the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre came to Marin City to host “Lets Play Loterìa” and talk about health and active living.

The event was held last Thursday at the Manzanita Children Center.

The Mexican card game Loterìa was the basis for the game. Playing sheets, similar to bingo cards, were passed out to the audience with six different images printed on them

Christine Jamlig and Johnathan Williams, presenters from the Educational Theater, picked a random picture card and explained the health issue related to that card. They also presented a funny skit to help the audience understand more about healthy living and eating.

As in bingo, the audience marked off the pictures that were on their cards, until someone finally shouts, “Loterìa!”

Felecia Gaston, from Performing Stars, helped to bring the Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre to Marin City.

The Oakland Kaiser Permanente has five acting troupes that have performed as far north as Santa Rosa.

Since 1986, the Educational Theatre Program has performed live productions free for more than 15 million young people and their families. They have covered such topics as puberty, bullying and depression, and prevention of sexual transmitted diseases.

 In Northern California, “The Best Me” inspires elementary school students and their families to make healthier choices for their lives through dancing and songs.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
