Snaped so its all one pot of money that we will now be reporting to the state on as one pot of money with three categories so for reporting requirements through our funder were going to have to report on the overarching snaped money with the three programs, nutrition education, gardening and thai chi. I would imagine there are some communities where the snaped is going to one so its not confusing but to have this laid out and who the funder is and how were getting the money and the overarching objectives and why we have the one memo and detail of each and outcomes and measurements split apart.

So based on the states and also the countys profile for snaped participants as well as staff Needs Assessment and also the providers identifying needs and interests we were able to identify two contractors that we recommend to you to help us implement these three projects. Again the first project is snaped Nutrition Education and i will provide more details about that. The second project is the snaped early gardening project and i will introduce my colleague soon and she will give y
