SCHOOL NUTRITION BILL TO BE SIGNED INTO LAW!

On July 30th, Governor Patrick is set to sign the School Nutrition Bill into law!  The Legislature recently gave final approval to the legislation, after discussing versions of the bill and contending with industry opposition for the past eight years! 

Thank you to the thousands of people past and present who have dedicated their time, energy, and passion to improving our children's health! 


CELEBRATE WITH US!
Please join us for a celebration with legislative leaders, representatives of the Patrick Administration, and advocates. 

We will be presenting legislative awards to Representative Peter Koutoujian, Senator Richard T. Moore, Representative Jeffrey Sanchez, and Senator Susan Fargo.
