Dear GCDA Members:
Welcome to the winter GCDA newsletter. We
are a little more than midway through our
membership year and time is flying by. I’d like
to thank all of you – our members – for attend-
ing meetings, encouraging others to join and
for your contributions to our profession. I’d
also like to thank the incredible GCDA Board
for many hours of hard work!
I would like to encourage every member to
discuss the benefits of GCDA with someone
who is not a member, to encourage them to
join. Having a robust group allows us the
greatest diversity in both programs provided as
well as opinions and help in moving the organi-
zation forward.
Thank you to the presenters from our first two
membership meetings. The expertise and
information presented was outstanding. This is
one of the greatest benefits of this wonderful
group – getting to know other nutrition profes-
sionals and learning from them. We are all
lifelong learners after all.
As you look through the newsletter please
consider attending the February membership
meeting detailed on page 2. Our field is so
unique and diverse. Have you considered
starting your own business, perhaps undertake
consulting…. Statistics show that moving
forward the work place will continue to evolve
and most of us will change jobs numerous
times. Are you prepared for what might lie
ahead, even if you don’t think this applies to
you today?
Additionally, as you will see in reviewing the
newsletter, our members have been very
busy. Please consider helping in the various
ways detailed in the newsletter and remember
– NNM is just around the corner. Additional
opportunities for community assistance will be
noted on our GCDA homepage prior to March.
We hope you all will consider attending the
OAND Conference in May as we celebrate the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics 100th anni-
versary. Our own Jason Roberts has worked
countless hours leading the team putting this
tremendous event together. Jason has also
worked very hard in championing helping as
many students as possible attend the confer-
ence. You can still help by making a dona-
tion. (See page 9)
On a final note, please use the guest pass and
invite a friend to come to the next GCDA
membership meeting. We welcome all for a
meal, learning and fellowship.
Thank you and good health to all!

A big thank you goes out to GCDA member Laura Horn for working hard as our liaison at Cincinnati State and she
put a lot of behind the scenes work in in getting everything arranged and set up.
GCDA member Jessica Johnson, RD, LD, SNS, Food Service Director of Milford Schools; and Rachel Tilford, DT,
SNS, Food Service Director of Little Miami Schools tag teamed their fabulous presentation. They are very passion-ate about their jobs and feeding hungry kids a healthy breakfast and lunch so they can learn! And so much more!
It is clear they are hard workers benefiting our profession. Jessica and Rachel made a wonderful sage squash soup and provided a cooking demo. Everyone loved the soup and asked many questions. It was a fun night.

10 new 'Lil Pantry' locations to open around the Tri-State
LOCAL HEROES NEEDED!!!
To help with the project called People’s Pantry Cincy. The project is funded by a People’s Liberty grant which provides
$10,000 to provide 10 mini food pantries in food insecure neighborhoods in Cincinnati.
The pantries will be similar to the little librar-ies that you see around many Cincinnati and
NKY neighborhoods where neighbors can donate books and others can take
them. Local artists will design/decorate them
using old newspaper metal boxes.
We are looking for civic-minded individuals that are interested and willing to “champion”
one pantry by engaging the neighborhood
where it is placed. This can be done using social media, going to community council
meetings, writing press releases, etc. We want the food pantries to be engaging and
sustainable in each neighborhood. You do not have to live or work in the targeted
neighborhoods, but if you have a connec-
tion there, it will make it easier to man-age. Ideally, they should be placed near a
church, recreation center or bus line for safe, easy access.
These are the neighborhoods we are targeting:
Avondale
Camp Washington (have a possible champion) Lower Price Hill (have possible champion)
Millvale/South Cumminsville North Fairmount
Please email or call Lisa Andrews (513-675-6780) | [email protected] if you are interested in helping
with this project. It takes a village! Thank you!
The Lil Pantry in Pleasant Ridge that has served as the pilot for the project. Check out facebook/pleasantridgepantry for info about how to donate and what needs are. So far, the pantry is either full or empty. Neighbors tend to donate a few times per week and we have received some feedback from those using it.
Over the Rhine (OTR) Roselawn
Walnut Hills (have a possible champion)
West End Winton Hills
