I just received an email from my girlfriend, Betty Hsu, regarding Bill Clinton’s next speech in the Bay area, which will be held on April 14th and 6pm at Fairmont’s Grand Ballroom. For some reason it seems that EVERYTHING is happening on this date for me??!

I will make a special effort to see if it is possible for me to attend, but I highly suggest that if  you can make it: nothing is better than being in the presence of a powerful person and an energetic crowd of people. For more information on this event, click here.

According to the Clinton Foundation:
The Alliance for a Healthier Generation – a joint initiative of the William J. Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association – was formed in May 2005 to address the issues that contribute to childhood obesity and to inspire all young Americans to develop lifelong healthy habits. Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas is co-chairman of the Alliance and has provided significant leadership to create healthier schools in his state. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation’s largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, awarded the Alliance an $8 million grant to support its Healthy Schools Program.

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is focusing on four areas:

• Industry- encouraging restaurants and consumer foods companies to make substantially healthier innovations in meals and products.
• Schools- implementing a comprehensive program to increase physical activity, staff wellness and improve nutrition in schools across the nation.
• “By kids, for kids” movement- mobilizing kids to take charge of their own health and to create a youth led healthier generation movement.
• Health Care- helping healthcare providers to better recognize, prevent and treat obesity in children
