The packet also offers a description of Team Nutrition events from across the nation. An event planner offers a week-by-week action/media plan, ideas for a nutrition adventure, information on chefs in the classroom and in the cafeteria, and resources for further information. A booklet entitled "The Chef Connection" presents a directory of chefs for school partnerships. Promotional materials include a videotape; a sample action plan, teaser, and news release; logo and letterhead slicks; chefs' recipes; a certificate of appreciation; and a poster. (SM)
