Minnesota Highlights

I am pleased to inform you that Barb Luehmann, whom many of you know, will be more involved with Industry Relations at Midwest Dairy in 2012. Barb has been with Midwest Dairy Association for more than 30 years and is very knowledgeable regarding the programs that are executed both regionally and nationally.

Over the summer, as part of the Minnesota "Fuel Up For Summer Fun" incentive package for Summer Feeding sites, Midwest Dairy offered a HOPSport experience for sites that completed their midpoint survey. The HOPSports system is an interactive dance and activity video designed for large groups.

Midwest Dairy sponsored two pre-conference workshops at the Minnesota School Nutrition Association meeting in St. Cloud last month. “Fuel Up to Play 60: Making Wellness Part of the Game Plan” was presented back-to-back to more than 130 attendees.
