AIM for Healthy Living -- Chapter Programming. THANK YOU for adding
one health/fitness topic to EACH grade group in your chapter this program year.
Our goal is to impact our children. Seize the opportunity to invite children from
the community to your programming activity.
Again, the AIM for Healthy Living national initiative is a grassroots program
designed to empower our families and communities to make their own health a
top priority. It is designed to address the various factors that lead to obesity,
unhealthy lifestyles, medical consequences and help reduce the disparities of high
morbidity/high-mortality diseases that impact disproportionately the African-
American community and children.
We owe a huge debt of thanks to the efforts of each Jack and Jill of America
Chapter President, Chapter Program Director and Chapter AIM for Healthy Living
Coordinators for their support of this initiative. Mother-members from all over
our organization are calling and asking, ‘How can we help NPD Anderson?’
THANK YOU!
A special thank you to the National Program Committee and the AIM for Healthy
Living Taskforce Co-Chairs Ayana Ball-Griffie and LaShawn Ware who have
committed themselves to this initiative in ways beyond measure. It is an honor to
work with these leaders! As always, I thank my National Executive Board and
Regional Director sisters for their support in making this national initiative a
success!
When we meet at the Mother’s Regional Conferences in July 2011 we will have an
Interim Reveal to assess our progress and set our vision on what we will
accomplish by the National Convention, July 2012! I look forward to seeing a
healthier you!
