For Immediate Release
Looking for Military Personnel
With an undergraduate or graduate degree
in
Home Economics or Dietetics
Do you
have a degree in home economics, family & consumer sciences, or
dietetics and have served in the U.S. Military? If so, Project
Identify and Recognize wants to honor you for your military
service and to document your service to the country and
profession by the Centennial year 2009 of the American
Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (AAFCS).
All
military servicewomen, on active duty, reserves, or veteran
with an undergraduate or graduate degree in home economics,
family & consumer sciences, or dietetics, are eligible to
receive this distinguished honor. If you meet these two
criteria (degree and military service) register with Project
Identify and Recognize by completing a confidential “personal
data form” which can be obtained from the Project Director, Ms
Janett Gibbs. Military personnel or friend of the deceased can
contact Ms Gibbs by telephone/fax (706) 546 6372 or e-mail
jangibbs@ix.netcom.com. There is no fee to register.
Each
honoree receives a Certificate of Appreciation and beautiful
Recognition brooch, designed especially for the Project. The
brooch features the Betty Lamp, the symbol of AAFCS, flanked by
the furled flag of the United States. Crowning the brooch in a
protective manner is the American eagle with massive
outstretched wings. There is no cost to the honoree to receive
the Certificate or Recognition brooch.
Project Identify & Recognize is collecting and recording the
data to document the accomplishments and contributions of these
professionals to the US Armed Forces and the profession.
The
sponsors are The American Association of Family & Consumer
Sciences, formerly Home Economics, and the International
Federation of Home Economics, USA. Membership in either
association is not a requisite for this honor.
Over 190 women from all branches of
service have received this honor in the past five years.
