My goals for this coming winter

First of all I will volunteer for Ohio Responds https://www.ohioresponds.odh.ohio.gov/Volunteermobilizer/ to be ready for the Pandemic Flu or any other emergency.
You can make a difference in case of an emergency in your community. Anyone interested in volunteering can go at http://www.serveohio.org/OhioCitizenCorps_MRC.aspx.

To be well informed about the Pandemic Flu and how to prepare your family, business or school you can go at http://www.flu.gov/ or http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/.

Then I will try to introduce in the school where my daughters will start to go this year different available programs:
Kids walk to school (as this is what I did in Italy when I was in school from elementary to University, walking or biking) , http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/kidswalk/.
Ohio EPA Clean Diesel School Bus Fund Retrofit Grants Program and Anti-Idling campaign http://www.hcdoes.org/airquality/Anti-Idling/idle.htm
Bring gardening to school following the model of Granny's Garden School http://www.grannysgardenschool.com/
And many more...

Will be a busy school year, no time to be bored !
