| Impact Report | The Home Economist assisted the Eddy County Extension Homemakers in preparing a booth for the Carlsbad Health Fair in March. In an effort to educate the public on the importance of calcium at all stages of life, the Home Economist worked with the Health Fair committee to obtain a booth space and select a topic for the booth. Working with the Homemakers to develop up to date information on calcium at various stages of life- infancy, youth, adulthood, and elderly- information and recipes were handed out to health fair visitors. The Home Economist and the Extension Homemakers communicated with fair goers the importance of calcium in one’s diet. The Home Economist coordinated with Southwest Dairy Farmers and requested their donation of 250 individual sized cartons of milk to be handed out by the Homemakers at the health fair. Over three hundred adults and children received information on calcium from the booth at the Carlsbad Health Fair. |
