RE: Proclaim the Village of Tequesta becoming a"COMMIT 2B FIT"
community
Cornmit 2B Fit is a non-profit organization working to combat childhood obesity
and to promote overall wellness. The program is dedicated to affecting positive
change in children and families by increasing physical activity levels and better
nutrition.
By becoming a COMMIT 2B Fit community, we will take part in an effort to
promote physical activity and making healthy food choices; providing incentives for
accomplishments, and sending this message to families through educational
outreach and collaboration with our local chamber, schools and recreational
programs.
How will this affect Village Programs and Services? The Parks & Recreation
Department will participate in the Commit 2B Fit Program, which will offer once a
month family bike rides, walks, outdoor games at the park and nutritional lunches
after activities. Village Staff will be trained to implement the program.
Fiscal Impact: There are no fees for the Commit 2B Fit program unless the city
employees would like to do an 8 week program using the journal. The cost of the
journal is $2.50 and training is $100.
