This full session begins as participants arrive. Distribute copies of the handout, “The joy of eating,” which will serve as the introductory activity for the session. Ask participants to begin completing the items on the handout. 

Some participants may want to continue making friendship bracelets; others may browse in any of the resources you have gathered. Still others may want to complete portions of their travel journals.  Encourage all arriving participants to check the “Dollars and Dones” progress chart and to add their contributions to the collection container.
