FEBRUARY 2019
Unique and Healthy Valentine’s Day Treats
There is no doubt that Valentine’s Day is all about roses, chocolates, and candies. This year, instead, make healthy gifts to give to your loved ones that anyone would love.
You don’t have to completely skip the sweets, but there are many good alternatives to the rich chocolate and sugary candy that you have been giving and receiving for years.
Everyone loves chocolate-covered strawberries this time of year. These are a great option to give as gifts, especially since you are incorporating a fruit.
Another fun idea is to use different fruits and put messages on them like you would see on a Valentine’s Day card, such as “you are the apple of my eye” or “I am bananas for you.” This option can even be fun for your kids to take to school for their classmates.
Mason jar gifts have become very popular because they are versatile, easy to make, and hold well. Grab a mason jar, and make your own version of oats with a twist.
You can get creative and add different sweeteners or flavors such as honey or dried fruit to complete your recipe. Just add a tag with a message and a red bow, and you have a perfect Valentine’s Day gift sure to impress.
Coming up with healthy gift ideas can be fun and will make your gift stand out when you give it to your friends and family. Get creative and encourage others to do the same!

New in 2019 Book Club Study Group
A special Leadership Development Book Study Program started in
January 2019. As a group we will read and discuss John Kotter’s
“That’s Not How We Do It Here”!
This book takes a look at a clan of meerkats that have lived the
good life and are now facing troubling times. Their clan leadership
must decide how they will adapt to changing times and try to sur-
vive in a hostile environment. This will be a great opportunity for
participants to examine their personal leadership strengths and
weaknesses and give considerations to the growth of the
community organizations in which they are involved. Have you ever
said, “that’s not how we do it here”?
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 26th at noon (ct). Call the Extension
Office at 270-756-2182 to sign-up for the program. And pick-up a loaner copy of the book.
Bring a sack lunch and join the book discussion.
