Celebrate a healthy Wilton update

Hi gang:

Can't believe it's almost the end of August - our kickoff campaign for the childhood obesity grant is right around the corner. I wanted to send along the agenda for this Monday's meeting at 12 noon at Comstock - hope you can make it! Remember, come in the front door and check the whiteboard for what room we'll be in on Monday.
