  6. Assess progress towards goals: • Second edition printed with revisions based on survey feedback from over 400 residents who used the first edition for six months • Translated 2nd edition to Spanish (Vamos a Cocinar) and distributed this version through 5 targeted agencies including WIC

  7. Accomplishments/Impacts • United Way of Southern Nevada reprinted the second edition of the cookbook for distribution to 3,000 families across 4 distribution areas across the state. • The cookbook has been integrated as a key component in the County’s Eat Smart NY program. • The cookbook is available for free on the internet at <http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/onondaga/nutrition/Let%27s%20Get%20Cooking.htm>
