At the February meeting, Muriel Covington and Dee Boldt presented a lesson on "Super Foods to the Rescue." They had healthy drinks and dips with veggies that were featured in the lesson. They also mentioned foods that are on the supermarket shelves that are available to all. It was a very informative lesson.
