SNEB
 You might not have thought about it but as you read this article, there are hundreds of SNEB members volunteering in some task that advances our mission of healthy communities, food systems and behaviors. For example, each issue of this newsletter is reviewed by a faithful team of four member volunteers. Just yesterday you received a ballot to elect new leaders to the Society and we are thankful to these members for their willingness to serve. Some volunteer opportunities are behind the scenes which might take only a few minutes while others require a greater commitment. But all of these volunteer roles play a vital part in the work of SNEB. I encourage you to read my editorial in this month's issue of the JNEB and consider how volunteering is a win-win undertaking. When you share your time and talents with SNEB you will be gaining skills development, an extended professional network and personal satisfaction among other benefits. Learn how to volunteer online or by contacting the SNEB office.
Sincerely,
Mary Murimi, PhD, RD
SNEB President

By Ellen Schuster, BA, MS
Evidence-based approaches are the basis of nutrition education. Yet personal stories speak to us in deep and enduring ways. Decades later I can still recall personal success stories. One story was about a mom who wanted to celebrate her child's birthday but she had limited money available to do so. The educator working with the mom pointed out the cost of the many cans of soft drinks she drank each day. Could the money she saved by drinking less soda go toward her child's birthday? You bet it could and it did!

Reading picture books aloud remains a cherished ritual of childhood — one enjoyed by adults and children alike, whether at bedtime, in preschool or during story hour at the public library. Little wonder. The brightly illustrated stories evoke happiness, discovery and loving family relationships. Many of them also feature food, especially ice cream and desserts.
