The Junior League of Akron Announces Kids in the The Junior League of Akron invites families to attend a free Kids in the Kitchen event on Sunday, April 25, from 1-3 p.m. at the Shaw JCC, 750 White Pond Dr., Akron, OH44320. The Family Fitness Picnic themed event will educate children ages 5-10 and their families on the importance of choosing healthy foods and being active. Children will have the opportunity to prepare their own healthy snacks and participate in a variety of fitness challenges. The first 75 children in attendance will receive a gift bag with healthy eating tips, recipes and prizes! In partnership with the staff of the Shaw JCC, the provisional class of the Junior League of Akron will assist children as they visit food and fitness stations with activities that will educate about the food pyramid and the importance of physical activity. “The Shaw JCC helps enable families to be ‘fit for life,’ and this Kids in the Kitchen Family Fitness Picnic is a great opportunity for children to have fun learning healthy eating and exercise habits that can serve them for a lifetime,” said Stephanie (Davis) Dieringer, Director of Health and Wellness at the Shaw JCC. There is no cost for this event, but space is limited, so please reserve your spot today! Guests are asked to RSVP with a name, number attending and phone number by April 16, 2010 to kitkakron@yahoo.com or 330-836-4905. Please plan on arriving at the event between 1 and 1:30 p.m. to allow enough time for children to make their way to all of the food and fitness stations. Children outside the 5- to 10-year age range are welcome to attend, but programs have been designed with this specific age group in mind. “With our Kids in the Kitchen initiative, the Junior League of Akron seeks to empower Akron’s youth to make simple but enjoyable choices that can help reduce the likelihood of obesity and the health challenges associated with it,” said Harriet Chapman, President of the Junior League of Akron. Kids in the Kitchen, launched in 2006 by Junior Leagues in over 200 communities in four countries, is a program designed to help address the urgent health issues associated with childhood obesity and poor nutrition. Junior Leagues are committed to improving the health of today’s youth in response to the alarming statistic that nearly one-third of children and adolescents in the United States are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight.1 Even more alarming is that childhood obesity has been shown to be the leading cause of pediatric hypertension, is associated with Type II diabetes, increases the risk of coronary heart disease, increases stress on the weight-bearing joints, lowers self-esteem and affects relationships with peers.2 Children and families can learn more about living a healthy lifestyle and the Kids in the Kitchen initiative at www.kidsinthekitchen.org. As children are more likely to eat foods that they helped prepare, the Junior Leagues offer an online recipe collection featuring kid-friendly, nutritious recipes from celebrities, chefs and athletes. The website also features downloadable nutrition and exercise tips, quizzes to test kids on their nutritional knowledge and the USDA’s MyPyramid Blast-Off game, an entertaining way for kids to learn guidelines for daily food consumption and physical activity, tailored to their nutrition and fitness needs.

Virtual Journey through the Arteries Mobilizes People to Make Healthier Choices WHAT: The Artery Explorer is touring the country for the second year as part of US AGAINST ATHERO, a nationwide effort sponsored by AstraZeneca to increase awareness of atherosclerosis—the dangerous buildup of plaque in the arteries. Orrville area residents can take an eye-opening virtual tour of the human arteries in the Artery Explorer, a multisensory experience that helps people understand arterial health. WHY: Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of coronary heart disease, which affects more than 16.8 million Americans and is the number one killer in the US. Despite its prevalence, many people do not know about or understand atherosclerosis , because it builds silently over many years, causing virtually no symptoms until it leads to a serious event such as a heart attack or stroke. In 2009, 785,000 Americans will have a new heart attack, and every minute one American will die from a coronary event.1 By taking participants “inside” the human arteries, the Artery Explorer vividly illustrates the causes, progression, and consequences of atherosclerosis to help people understand their risks. WHO: Everyone is welcome to experience the Artery Explorer and to join the US AGAINST ATHERO campaign. Growing Healthy Habits will be on site to answer questions about atherosclerosis and the US AGAINST ATHERO movement. WHEN AND WHERE: The Artery Explorer will be at Dunlap Community Hospital on April 27, 2010. Start: 04/27/2010 6:30 pm

Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool Mark Gooch, chairman of the Friends of Christmas Run Pool (FOCRP) got some welcome news when a potential donor to the Christmas Run Pool Fund offered a one-for-one matching challenge grant to boost their fundraising efforts to keep the pool open. The challenge is made possible from the Rose Family Charitable Fund, established to honor Grant and Margaret Rose, long-time Wooster residents. This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool. “By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal. It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added. All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels: The WCCF is a tax exempt public charity that consists of nearly 300 separate funds that were generously donated to benefit the community. Since 1978, it has awarded over $43 million to the community in the form of grants and scholarships. For more information, please see www.waynecountycommunityfoundation.org. Start: 04/30/2010
