My name is Pam Harmke and I am proud to be your Home Life/Health chair for 2010-2012. My home club is the Paskack Junior Woman's Club in the Palisades district. I have been a member since 2008 and currently serve as Treasurer.
I am excited that our Director has chosen Childhood Obesity and Nutrition as her special project. It is an issue that is, unfortunately, so prevalent in our society but there is so much that we can do to help raise awareness and make a difference throughout our state.
Something to take note of: the food pyramid is now a plate (click link above)! The USDA is using the new image to emphasize several important nutrition messages: eat smaller portions, make at least half the plate fruits and vegetables and avoid sugary drinks.
