Healthy Monday #38 in 2026 was not posted as I was in Knoxville for the National Extension Association of Family & Consumer Sciences Annual Session. I am grateful for the professional development on Tri-Star Traditions Uniting Service, Community, and Volunteerism for Change planned by University of Tennessee in partnership with Susan Moore, Vice President of Professional Development and the Professional Development Committee. I look forward to implementing new ideas from this annual session. I am thankful for the recognition of Indiana teams for The Family Dinner Project!
