On Saturday April 17, 2010 The Done in a Day (DIAD) Committee held a Kids In The Kitchen event at the Morris Center YMCA. We organized a fun and educational activity for over 200 children by providing a healthy alternative to soda. The children had the opportunity to mix their own "Fun Fizzy Fruit Drink" as they chose from a variety of healthy fruit nectar and juices and mix them with seltzer. JLM volunteers advised the children on the proper proportions of fruit nectar/juice to seltzer. They were able to see what an appropriate serving size looks like and finally they were be able to compare the amount of sugar in regular soda to the amount present in their mixed drink. Thank you to all our volunteers and to Shannon Ferguson for organizing this educational event!
