K-State Research & Extension- Fort Riley-Family Nutrition Program

Next Saturday!!!

For all of those who did not know it, our office will be closing as of September 30th. We not longer have funding for our programs. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with the Soldier and Family Members of Fort Riley. Susan and I will miss you and we will especially miss those awesome students in the Fort Riley schools. You all made our days so fun and we loved providing you with nutrition education and a healthy snack. The hugs were icing on the cake. Please feel free to contact the Riley or Geary County Extension offices to see what programming is available. Also, if you have any questions regarding nutrition, food preparation-preservation, family life issues, resource managment issues and child development issues. They are you source for Family Consumer Science and Gardening questions. Thank you again for the opportunity to impact your lives-you have had a very positive impact upon us. Toni Bryant and Susan Schoneweis!

Unfortunately today's class "Making the most of your grocery $" is going to have to be rescheduled. Each of you that have registered will be called directly and we will post the newly scheduled date on Facebook. We are sorry for the inconvenience but hope to see you all at the newly scheduled class.
