On thursday, we use the first half of the class time to engage in the yearly scholar presentation of our university in convocation center. We had free pizza as well as beverage and see posters made by students in our school. It is really a good experience to know so many research directions and researchers through a fair.

For the second half of that class, Marjorie gave us a lecture about Food Pentry in Ohio. They limit healthy food for grant. Monthly donation is about $115 per month. Marjorie mentioned Lisa, a important lady in this program.
Name of speaker: Marjorie Vardell
--Second-year Graduate Student in School of Human and Consumer Sciences of Ohio University
The purpose of this program is to provide food and assistance to those people live in community in southeast Ohio.
Funding Source: 3 churches, and the Sisters of St. Joseph grant
Role of Nutrition Professionals：no RDs in this organization, all people work for this program are volunteers
What impressed me most is that everyone work for this program is not paid. There are 15 to 20 volunteers there. I really hope that one day in future I can be a volunteer in such kind of organization and contribute myself to the society.

For the garden work, our group decide to transplant our cute veggetables to the garden on Sunday 11 am.
This is about my Community Nutrition class at OU.
