Did you know: 90% of brain development happens before a child turns 5 years old and many children enrolled in early childhood care eat 2/3’s of their daily weekday food intake at that center?
In 2008, just as Michelle Obama was entering the White House in Washington, DC, an early childcare center in the mountains of Western North Carolina was developing a way to bring quality nutrition to their young children by using the colors of the rainbow as a guide. Now they are investing in a director for the program to offer the model nationwide. After four years, Mountain Area Child and Family Center (MACFC), an early care and education center of distinction in Asheville, NC, is taking their model nutrition program Rainbow in my TummyTM to other centers in the region, as well as investing in a new position to support and grow the program regionally and across the nation.
MACFC is conducting a search for an experienced professional to take Rainbow in my TummyTM, (RIMT) to a regional and national audience. The Program Director will be responsible for strategizing, packaging and promoting RIMT as the model early childhood nutrition and obesity prevention program in the nation. The successful candidate will embrace a healthy lifestyle and enjoy developing partnerships, as well as have experience with business and program development. The application deadline is June 15.

Buncombe County Parks, Greenways and Recreation Services will host another round of drop-in public meetings for the Greenways and Trails Master Plan this month. They will have the preliminary maps of proposed greenways, and take your comments.
Blue Ridge Parkway representatives will discuss trail heads for the Parkway within the Asheville Corridor. The “Greenways, Please” photo booth will be onsite to help you show your support of greenways. Everyone welcome, including children. Light refreshments will be served.
These priority areas will be taken to the County Commissioners late this summer/early fall for approval.
