Alzheimer's Association annual Memory Walk

This is the correct link. One student is interested. Contact Joseph Quinlan, Co-Volunteer coordinator if you are interested:

The Alzheimer’s Association’s annual Memory Walk will take place on Saturday, November 17, 2007 at the Avenues Mall in Jacksonville. Nearly 600 people across Jacksonville are expected to participate in this year’s event to raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease.

Memory Walk promises to be a family-friendly environment with food, fun and entertainment.

Individuals interested in forming a team, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at http://mwjacksonville.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=239587 or 904.398.5193.

WWDoP Press Release

Lorie Strange is asking for Nutrition/Dietitian Specialist or educators to volunteer a couple of hours to raise awareness of Childhood Obesity. Student volunteers are welcome. It is Saturday, Sept. 29 from noon until 3 p.m. at four parks in Jacksonville. They expect approximately 400 children at each park. To be most effective, I hope to have at least two nutrition educators at each park to answer questions for families. Your children and family are certainly welcome, too. The flyer/brochure is attached.

Contact: Lorie Strange, Communications Director with questions.

American Cancer Society of UNF - Relay for Life - Spring 2008

There has been a lot of enthusiasm shown for this event next spring. There are opportunities for volunteers (click me) - who don't want to participate in a relay team -- and opportunities for others to participate in the relay team.

Read here for information about Relay for Life nationally.

I am excited to announce that our new Nutrition faculty member, Ms. Jen Nickelson, has agreed to work with the SNC Relay for Life Team this spring. She was captain of a team who won first place last year!
