Since we failed to observe National Nutrition Awareness Month in March, we decided to recognize it in the month of April. We were greeted with a very warm welcome from our President, Diego Dimes as we realized that the two rooms that we normally hold the meeting in were already occupied. Diego quickly responded and found us another room. Once we secured a room, the breakfast buffet began. The breakfast spread included fresh tasty bagels with an assortment of cream cheese and an assortment of seasonal fresh fruit.
After a nutritional breakfast, our speakers Carolina Brochado and Lorraine Damiani from the Nutrition Education Action Team spoke to us about "Nutrition and Chronic Diseases: "How can you avoid them." They provided us with handouts, showed us serving sizes of food and were very willing to answer all of our questions. For those of you who were unable to attend the meeting, you missed a treat. Please take a look at the following websites to become more aware of nutrition and how it effects you.

Following this, we had a programs update. Be on the look out for our upcoming happy hour and elections announcements. The meeting ending with an excellent Unity Banquet slide show presentation and the Ipod Raffle. Seitu has great luck and pulled his own name out of the bag for the Ipod Raffle. Congratulations Seitu!
