New Members Bring Kids in the Kitchen to Dayton’s Bluff

by Tara B., New Member Chair

Kids in the Kitchen is an initiative by the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. to empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices; reversing the occurrence of childhood obesity and associated health issues.

The Fall New Member class took on this initiative and hosted Kids in the Kitchen at Dayton’s Bluff Recreation Center on January 27th to educate approximately 30 youth about the importance of healthy diet, exercise, and safety. The goal of this event was to share with the children fun and simple strategies in food selection and preparation along with the benefits of

exercise in order to motivate them to take care of their bodies’ every day. The children were

divided into three groups with each group participating in various healthy living stations including: educational activities, physical activities, and hands on cooking using the colors of the rainbow.

It was an honor to partner with Dayton’s Bluff Recreation Center in building a foundation of healthy eating habits that will guide the children into their teenage years and beyond.

Thank you to the Fall New Member class (Jeanine C., Julian M., Diane L., Beth L.,

Kimberly M., Ashley R., Andrea S., Dawn S., Britney T., Jenny Z.) for

making this an event to remember.
