The Problem

Our FCCLA organization it trying to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network, while trying to keep the community healthy, and also trying to have fun. So, we have decided to put on a "Hoedown" to create the evening active, since you burn between 250-400 calories, based on weight, in one hour. This will keep the members of our community active throughout the whole night and we will also be serving a well balanced meal to all of our guests. We want to get families to come and have a fun time together.

Plan of Action

We plan to have our "Healthy Hoedown" on November 6, 2009 at a local auction gallery that is in the middle of our community to make accessible to everyone within our community. We plan on selling tickets at our local Fall Festival in October, as well as, at football games, volleyball games, and other school activities. We have also put flyers around our community and in our district newsletter to get the word out about our project. The tickets to our event will be $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children, and a free-will donation on the dinner. We will serve the dinner first in a buffet style. Then after everyone has eaten their healthy dinner, we will begin the dance. Members of our organization will be teaching the steps to various line dances to the members of our community. At the end of the night everyone will have worked off some calories, eaten a good meal, and had a really fun time.
