This is a training opportunity that may be of interest to you and/or someone you know. Attached is a flyer from the Area Agency on Aging 1-B regarding a free training they are offering in September to become a Healthy Eating for Successful Living program leader.

Preference will be given to prospective leaders from the AAA 1-B service area, which consists of the following counties: Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Washtenaw. If space allows, candidates from other counties will be considered. Once trained, there is an expectation that leaders will conduct and complete at least one workshop prior to October 31, 2013.

Uploading Files to SCoop
There are certain file types that WordPress will not allow you to upload. For example Microsoft Publisher will not upload to this blog. If you find that you cannot upload a document, simply convert the document to a PDF file. It’s usually good to save documents as PDF anyway, since Acrobat is pretty universal.
