Welcome and Greetings:

I am pleased to welcome everyone back for another exciting year with the South Suburban Dietetic Association (SSDA).  For new members, we are happy to have you in our membership.  We are pleased to offer a variety of continuing education programs this season, and hope the topics offer new learning for all.  Our President-Elect -Bonnie Janota - has been busy putting the final touches on the agenda.  The current program can be found on the SSDA website at eatrightillinois.org. We will be raffling registrations this year for the “Innovative Concepts in Nutrition” seminar hosted by the Ingalls Memorial Hospital Interns, as well as the IDA Spring Assembly for 2013.  We also hope to combine our food pantry donation drive with fun raffle prizes.  Remember, also, that membership provides job opportunities, announcements, and updates via our email list.

Just a few notes to start off the new year:
