WHPE September Update
What a Start of the New School Year!
Hi everyone,
For some people the first day of school is the best part of the year! The excitement, the anticipation, the fresh start. I recently was in a meeting and as an intro we shared our favorite memories of the first day of school. For me, I loved going shopping for our new school clothes and getting the coolest folders, trapper keepers and pens. The real challenge is keeping that enthusiasm for more than a few days or weeks. I have an idea for you to help keep the enthusiasm...come and join us at the WHPE Annual Convention in Wisconsin Dells! By the end of October the honeymoon period will be over and you will be ready for a quick recharge. What better way than to do this with your peers at the Wilderness Lodge!
I hope you have a great September, enjoy the fall weather but don't forget to sign up for the convention! If you can't make the convention, connect with your peers in other ways to keep your ideas fresh. Check with the American Heart Association Youth Marketing Director in your area and set up your Jump Rope for Heart/Hoops for Heart event for the year. Don't forget that if you do an event you will receive a 1/2 price membership for WHPE. If you raise at least $2,000 at your event you get a free membership!
See you at the convention!
Sincerely,
Brett Fuller
WHPE President

Cardiac Emergency Response Plans
While we talk a lot about how Jump Rope for Heart/Hoops for Heart helps with research, helps support our profession (through a small percentage of fund going to SHAPE America and WHPE) we need to always remember the real reason. How do we address heart disease and cardiac emergencies. Check out the tool from SHAPE America.
