This year, Junior League of Calgary partnered with Highbanks Society to implement the MUM program to help young mothers learn about "Healthy and Active Living" through the practice of good nutrition.
Our last MUM session of the year was held Tuesday, May 17 and the theme was "Welcome to Spring" - FINALLY! We made Linguini with Garlic and sautéed Shrimp as well as a Feta, Apple and Pecan Salad. For dessert we made "Health by Chocolate Cookies" which contained pureed blueberries and spinach... YUM! The girls each received their own pasta pot to take home.
We are all looking forward to the grand opening of the new Highbanks Society kitchen. Our 2011-2012 sessions will be held there beginning in September. We also look forward to refining the scope and components of the MUM program and moving into the second year of the program‘s delivery. A big thank you to all the Junior League volunteers for contributing to the success of the MUM program this year!
