I have a friend who works for our local school district as their dietitian. She plans the lunch menu and snacks for the district. We are having a fundraiser to benefit the Delaware Chapter of Dietetics (state wide). My friend had the contact info for the other districts because they meet on a monthly basis to compare what is going on around the state in each district. Each dietitian is forwarding info around their school and to the parents on the mailing list. I would have never thought to do this on my own an so glad she emailed me to do this.
 
She is also great at networking and connecting with other dietitians so that she can keep up to date on the latest trends and recipes.
 
That's great that your friend is using her connections to help with the fundraiser! It's always helpful to have a network of professionals in the same field to share ideas and support each other. I'm sure the other districts will appreciate being included in the fundraiser and it will help spread the word to a larger audience. Good luck with the fundraising efforts!
