 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has been serving Texans for 100 years through community-based education. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in the area of health and wellness, Tarrant County Extension Office will have the Master Wellness Volunteer Training Program beginning October 8th. The Master Wellness Volunteer Training is an effort to expand our programs throughout Tarrant County. Tarrant County has over 1.8 million residents and so basically with us having 10 agents in our office it basically takes time to get to each individual when programs are requested per our agency and so our goal is to expand on each program that we provide along with the different incentives and events we provide throughout the year for those who are interested in assisting with those programs. The classes are on Wednesdays beginning October 8th. We kick off with an overview of Extension. From there we're going to our Walk Across Texas program where you'll learn more about how to actually start a walking group all online to get people physically active and moving and then we move into learning more about our food resource management programs, how to save money when grocery shopping. We discuss food safety. We discuss my plate to show people a healthy portion versus serving sizes and so we're going to a lot of different aspects dealing with children, older adults and also the working population. Volunteering can be as simple as coordinating a program at your local church, community center or neighborhood organization. Through the volunteer program that you're not only helping yourself, you're expanding the knowledge of others through healthy eating and physical activity and giving people the option of our free programs to know that we're here and we do exist in the Tarrant County area. To join the class, call 817-884-1576 and ask for application for the Master Wellness Volunteer Program. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.
