Celebrating the
National Senior Nutrition Program
Back in January, ACL sent out a draft of the March
activities for Nutrition Month. We asked for comments and feedback from
stakeholders and ACL Regions. Based on the feedback we received,
we decided to adjust the focus of our celebration. We have been
advised the that the phrase, “National Nutrition Month” is a trademarked
one. So during March, we will now celebrate the “OAA National Senior
Nutrition Program”* instead. This program began in March of 1972, and
has a rich and vibrant history across the Nation.
Going forward, March activities surrounding the topic of
nutrition will be focused on Celebrating the National Senior Nutrition
Program. This change will bring more awareness to older
adult nutrition programs and the Older Adults Act. Activities will relate
our nutrition network needs. This year's theme and line up of activities
will remain the same. We ask that you change the focus from "National
Nutrition Month" to "Celebrating the National Senior Nutrition
Program" - Please ensure all press releases, webinars, promotional
fliers, etc. are corrected. ACL will be sending out promotional items
throughout the month that you can use.
For the celebration of the OAA National Senior Nutrition
Program, we will continue to use the theme, Make your Mark, One Bite at a Time.
We hope we are sending this to you in a timely fashion and
apologize for any inconvenience. We thank you for your continual support of
the Older Americans Nutrition program.
*“National
Nutrition Month” is trademarked by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
and may be used only with their permission. During March, ACL/AoA is
celebrating the “OAA National Senior Nutrition Program” which began in
March of 1972.
