If you are able to go to this session (listed below) on the obesity issue please do so. It is important that we join Physical Education on this campaign. I am trying to join forces with physical education in my school and propose an every other day course with them. One day would be exercise and fitness with Phy Ed and the other would be with FACS covering personal growth, self motivation, and nutrition with labs promoting healthy food choices and preparation.
Senator Kathy Saltzman and Representative Marsha Swails on February 1 6, 2010 from 5:30-6:30pm at Woodbury HP Clinic -- 8450 Seasons Parkway, Woodbury, MN.
Hope to see you there. Jane Hinrichsen

Productive and Informative MAFCS Conference
The Minnesota Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, February, conference held in Bloomington, MN was a huge success. We would like to thank Linda Keller and Debbie Larson for their impeccable organization and coordination that was put forth as conference program chairs.
We would like to congratulate Marsha Chizek Minnesota Teacher of the Year, Donna Butterfield Friend of MAFCS award (Sew Easy Designs), Debbie Larson Business Leader of the Year award. Anupama Pasricha for the New Achiever award. Donna Butterfield and Alice Lysaker for the Service Award.
Marsha will represent us at the national level this summer in Cleveland, OH and Anupama Pasricha will represent us at the national level in 2011 for each of their awards.
We had many powerful speakers with informative messages. Once we receive the links for their power points I will post them on this blog.
