We are pleased to announce that we have a distributor for all of our educational and community-based interest! Our DVD is expected to be available on or about November 23rd, and can be purchased in combination with our wonderful standards-based curriculum book. The curriculum was collaboratively produced with our partner, Solar One!

Legislation Updates
We are happy to be working with the New York Alliance for Child Nutrition Reauthorization Bill. While the bill has been extended for a year, we are working together to motivate action on the reauthorization until the bill comes up for review in early 2010.
Also, last week, October 11-17, per an announcement by President Obama was National School Lunch Week! Thank you to the President for giving a national voice to such an important issue!
