Happy St. Patrick's Day

National Nurtition Month
March is National Nutrition Month, and in honor of this event, ECA County Council voted to sign a Healthy Foods Policy for ECA club programs and activities. The policy states healthy options will be included when food and refreshments are served at all ECA activities. Don't worry, this doesn't mean no more homemade cookies, cakes, etc. It just means that we'll also continue to have healty options included such as veggie salads, fruit, water, unsweetened tea, or other calorie-free beverages at our meetings.
Establishing such policy is a very simple way for ECA to support physical activity and healthy eating-it helps us all to continue to eat smart and move more!
