PROGRAM (December 5, 2000)

KIRK CLARK, Program Coordinator for December, introduced Katie Gaff and Amy Sarah, Seniors in Dietetics, Department of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue; Katie then introduced their Instructor, Barbara Mayfield, and Teaching Assistant, Michelle Braun and Amy introduced fellow students, Julie Crow; Abby Hamm; Amy Kallenberger; Jenny Kieffer; Kathy Sagarsee; and Julie Vanderpool. Katie's and Amy's topic was "Don't Balloon Up � Healthy Holiday Eating." They spoke about two current topics in the field of Foods and Nutrition, satiety and the influence of fluids on the diet. Amy and Katie concluded that a well-rounded diet that includes protein is most satisfying and that fluids add to caloric intake and are often unregulated in the diet. These two topics should be kept in mind during the holiday season. At the end of their presentation, Katie and Amy demonstrated how to make an Apple Brownie Crisp with drizzle melted caramel over the top, a recipe that they developed which can be cut into 16 4 x 4 pieces with each piece having 173 calories, 4 Fat grams, 4 Dietary Fiber grams, and 2 Protein grams. Their fellow students, noted previously, circulated among the members with samples of the Apple Brownie Crisp. Booklets with the Apple Brownie Crisp recipe were on the luncheon tables. Anyone wanting a copy should contact GRIFF.

VISITORS: Tim Schooler (Commercial Loan Officer, Fifth Third Bank), guest of SANDY ALLENDE; and Barbara Reif (Retired and former Peoria, IL Rotarian), guest of MARGERY ISMAIL.
