Gilbert is eager to take on her new role. “The CDM is the cornerstone of

value of the CDM credential through empowering our members. I am both
honored and excited about our future and my service to this incredible
Association.”
ANFP Chair Ginger Cater, MEd, CDM, CFPP, who also served as Chair of

irrepressible confidence, competitiveness, and dedication to excellence.”
Cater continued, “She has worked with CDMs in the past and believes they
are the cornerstone of non-commercial foodservice and nutrition

miss him indeed. Now we welcome Joyce to lead our association into
ANFP’s exciting future.”

I hope this message finds you all well. I have exciting news to share! The
Nebraska ANFP chapter will be hosting an ANFP Regional Meeting. It will be
March 20-21, 2014, in Omaha, NE., at the DoubleTree by Hilton Omaha. This
presents us with the unique opportunity to showcase our state while offering
members quality education in our backyard! Mark your calendars and spread
the word!
As we progress into the New Year I reflect on the great strides and progress
that our ANFP chapter is making. Now that my first year as your president is
under my belt, I feel more comfortable and confident we will meet our goals.
I am excited and looking forward to the challenges and changes that are in
store for Nebraska ANFP.
At our fall meeting I presented to you the goals we have set for 2013. They
are as follows:




Give financial assistance to Camp Hot Shots a diabetes camp for children.
The Newsletter completed and on the website month prior to state meetings.
Increase member participation in state meeting presentations. (Members speaking and
training at state meetings.)
Win the Diamond award!
To meet the goal of giving financial assistance to Camp Hot Shots we will be
selling raffle tickets for prizes at our meetings and accepting donations from
members at meetings. So, members please purchase raffle tickets or give a
donation at our next meeting in Kearney, March 26-27.
Our goal is to keep members informed and current with what is going on in our
state chapter and the national level. We will be doing that by keeping our
website updated. The newsletter will be posted on the website one month
prior to state meetings.
We are looking for members to participate in our state meeting by giving a
presentation. Everyone gives in-service and/or training of some type to your
staff. Share with us your successes and specialties. This is one way to keep
meeting costs down and learning from one another.
In 2012 our chapter was awarded the Platinum State Achievement Award.
Our goal is to be awarded the Diamond award in 2013. It takes the whole
chapter working together to meet our goals and challenges. Not just officers
and board member but all Nebraska ANFP members! So, please if anyone
has an idea to share, talents, an article for the newsletter or website, please
pass it on.
I truly have appreciated everyone’s one help and encouragement. Now let go
forward and have a wonderful and exciting 2013 and make Nebraska ANFP
the best it can be together! Hope to see you in Kearney
Ann mick, CDM, CFPP

The ANFP Regional Meeting has been booked for Omaha, NE! It will be
March 20-21, 2014 at Doubletree by Hilton Omaha. This partnership
presents the chapter leadership the unique opportunity to showcase our
state while offering regional member with quality education in their backyard.
As a host chapter, our chapter will forego our chapter meeting for the
season. All the meeting planning and execution is the responsibility of
ANFP HQ staff. The chapter will be offered free meeting rooms for our
business and board meetings and free expo space to showcase our chapter.
There will be an opportunity to establish a revenue-share agreement with
ANFP if our chapter is willing to participate in meeting promotion and onsite
involvement.
We will give you further information once details are complete.
Evaluation Forms, Seminars,
Cost of Meetings and Membership
One of the goals of the executive board is to provide seminars that meet the
needs our membership. A vital portion of each seminar is the evaluation form.
Information on this form plays an important role in our planning process. We
need and appreciate all of your input. We try to use this information to
provide the topics you request. If at any time you have a topic you want
presented or know of a good speaker please provide us with the topic and
any contact information you may have. If you come up with a topic between
meetings email me at jameson_colleen@hotmail.com please put ANFP in the
subject line so I know it is a safe email to open.
Frequent comments made pertain to the cost of seminars and membership
costs. We know many do not have their facilities support to pay the cost of
attending. Your Executive Board and Program committee diligently work to
keep the cost of our meetings to a minimum. Each person volunteers their
time along with many of the resources it takes to put meetings together. We
search for speakers and venues that allow us to keep our costs at a
minimum. We have been very fortunate to have sponsors that assist us with
some costs. Many venues can cost $1,500.00 just to rent the room. Food can
be another $700.00 to $1500.00. This doesn’t include the cost of mailings,
speakers, and the equipment speakers ask us to provide. Key note speakers
usually run a minimum of $1,700.00 to $5,000.00 for an hour. It would be
wonderful if we could meet in these types of venues and provide a keynote
speaker at every seminar. If this was the case our meeting costs would have
to rise substantially.
The dues each of us pay go directly to the national office. State chapters
have no control over the cost of membership. We do receive rebates from the
national office if we meet specific goals throughout the year. We are fortunate
to have a board that sees that these goals are met so we collect the
maximum rebate each time it is sent. The amount of these rebates does not
begin to cover the expense of a meeting. By working together we hope we
are able to meet your needs.

ANFP Service Project: Camp Hot Shots
Nebraska Chapter of Dietary Mangers has completed an annual Service project for
many years. Eight or nine years ago the Executive Board was discussing finding a
project that was relevant to what we do and something that we could have a
positive impact on. The chapter president suggested we support Camp Hot Shots
.
The program is a camp for Nebraska children with diabetes. It gives them the
chance to spend time with others who go through the same daily routines they do.
Many of these children are the only one in their school who has diabetes. It is
difficult to grow up with all your friends having fun, and you want to join in yet you
have so many other responsibilities to keep track of. During this three day camp
they are with others who go through the same thing they do on a daily basis. It
helps them to feel as if they are not the only one and are not being left out of
anything just because they have the disease. These children are growing up well
versed in their disease and do a great job taking care of themselves. They come to
camp, are able to relax and have a good time. This program helps them learn to
be independent and live a normal life
.
The camps mission “is to make a difference in the lives of children and young
adults who have diabetes TODAY so they have the opportunity to live a healthy
life. Provide a safe environment to gather, bond and enjoy learning to be selfdisciplined and responsible.”
The camps goals are: “To provide a positive, safe and healthy experience for
children and young adults with diabetes - To educate children and young adults
regarding diabetes and foster independence, self-discipline and responsibility - To
promote that goals and aspirations are limitless if they properly manage their
diabetes - To foster relationships between the children, young adults, staff,
volunteers and parents/guardians that will last a lifetime”
The camps objectives are: “Ensure a safe and healthy environment by partnering
with the physicians, nurses, dieticians, child life specialists and volunteers Provide an educational curriculum that broadens the knowledge and
understanding of diabetes management by providing engaging activities and
programming”
The support DMA/ANFP has given to the camp each year has allowed children
with limited finances attend the camp. Children are given scholarships to attend
camp. Parents have been given an allocation from our support to purchase gas for
their vehicle to get their child to camp. Our support also helps to purchase food
and supplies for camp.
One of the many thank you notes we receive from the children stated all of the
activities she participated in at camp. She ended her thank you with “Thank you for
your generous donation, it officially made it a good summer.” Our service project
makes a direct impact on the future of these children who are a part of our
communities.
