Members thought Elaine Ho's "The APHA Diet" experience was a good one, and would be happy to publish more stories of members' experiences at the Annual Meeting. I have copied the APHA Diet story again for those who may have missed it.

"You haven’t heard of the APHA diet? Just ask Karen Ho, CHPPD member from Honolulu, Hawaii. Karen was so busy attending meetings and sessions at the APHA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia that she barely found time to eat. So finally, on the third day of the meeting, she was determined to get to the corner Dunkin Donuts and buy some breakfast. And she did.

Just as she unwrapped the sandwich and was getting ready to take a bite, she noticed a gentleman, who seemed homeless or at least fallen on hard times, gesturing at her. She figured he was asking her for money. So she gestured back, asking if he would like her sandwich. And he shrugged and said, “That will do.” So she gave him her sandwich. Aloha to the APHA Diet."
