You Are Invited to a Strategic Planning Session for Live Wright – July 12th!

We are trying to widen our reach and hear from voices out in our community about what you think can be done to continue our work to create healthy, livable communities.

All Community Leadership Team members, former grantees and community members are encouraged to attend. Please RSVP to livewrightwc@gmail.com if you are able to join us.

Since 2009, Live Wright has invested nearly $300,000 throughout Wright County to support policy, system and environmental changes to make the healthy choice, the healthier choice in local schools and in our communities. This work was started under the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP). While we no longer receive those grant dollars, we are still faced with a mounting problem of the chronic diseases caused by physical inactivity, unhealthy eating and tobacco use.

So, what do we do? If you want to help us answer the question and be part of the solution – join Live Wright on July 12^th! Refreshments and healthy snacks will be provided.

When: 2:30 – 4:30pm

Where: Wright County Human Services, room 127.
