Newsletter #31 There Goes Helen...
Even
though the days are shorter and somewhat darker, we encourage you to
continue your physical activity endeavours whatever they may be. You
might be a seasoned sportsperson or On the 1st July I am leaving Nutrition and Physical Activity to take up my new position as Service Manager for Child, Youth and Maternity (NMDHB) . I'm looking forward to moving into a new area of health, but am sad to be leaving NPA. I leave you in the very capable hands of our dedicated and passionate programme managers, Richard, Jenni and Maria who will continue the vision we began 4 years ago. Don't forget to keep checking out Trolley Tips on our website (www.healthyas.org.nz) - it's regularly updated, and full of hearty, nutritious recipes using seasonal produce. These recipes are not only healthy and tasty, but they're cheap and easy too. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and for being part of our journey.
