Dear F&N Member,
Each year, at the APHA Annual Meeting, the Food and Nutrition Section recognizes achievements of nutrition professionals at the national, state and community levels. The Food and Nutrition Section’s Annual Awards Program highlights achievements of deserving awardees to show our support for esteemed accomplishments and to encourage our peers and new professionals to strive for greatness in the area of nutrition.
Over the years, as the economy has weakened, our once vibrant awards program has suffered from lack of funds. Our annual awards program is a joyous occasion, and we would like to make it a memorable event for all who attend.
To help the Food and Nutrition Section have a memorable awards program this year, support students, and sponsor invited speakers, we are holding a fundraising campaign with a goal to raise $5,000. We are suggesting the following levels of giving:
|
Donation Amount |
You Receive: |
|
$10.00 |
Receipt for donation and cash bar coupon for one free drink |
|
$25.00 |
Receipt for donation and cash bar coupon for two free drinks |
|
$50.00 or more |
Receipt for donation; cash bar coupon is based on level of donation |
Our goal this year of $5,000 is quite attainable if every member contributes as little as $10! We will be initiating a “Levels of Giving” section in our Awards Program Booklet, with names of members contributing.
We ask that you make a donation today. Help us reach our goal as we all work toward a healthier and food secure nation and world. Please click http://www.apha.org/about/donate/landing/ to donate to your Food and Nutrition Section.
We look forward to seeing you in Washington, D.C., in October!
Best,
Katie Kavanagh, PhD, RD, LDN
