What’s needed in the Plan

Tyler, Northeast Public Health District,
Dr. Bridges looking for best community-based PA program. Structured exercise in churches for cancer patients – Dr. Kimball. Meeting w/community leaders, YMCA, local churches. Challenge- to determine who will lead the program. U.T. Tyler may be able to provide support. Close to implementation phase. (George Roberts)
Tyler	Surveying city. Federal funds related to building trails. Grand opening with elected officials invited to show politicians and get free press. Hosting runs with approved routes; runners association made it so people could track mileage. Put up large red-letter sign to deal with NIMBY issues. Bike to work day and bike to school day. Need to connect the trails, get the people on the trails through creative means, involvement of family, churches, communities, kids
Victoria	Get Fit Victoria; relationship with local TV; sponsor with Subway; commercial monthly with Subway logo Scavenger hunt for fitness over five miles
Town of 11,000	Put in walking trails, used old land, got matching grant from Texas Parks and Rec, used some donations, built park, started to see increased use.
Success in NY	Examples of physical activity program within daycare (bubble paper down for kids to run and pop). We need this here.

Opportunities re: Schools Already a plan for students, but we need one for the rest of the community Insurance for kids-kids aren’t allowed to play outside because they don’t have insurance and can’t afford to be injured
