BANPAC’s Early Childhood SFS Kit, featuring “Drink water!” Said the Otter was launched July 2nd at the Holy Family Day Home childcare center in San Francisco > updated 07.29.09

  • See a video on YouTube of Jennifer Siebel Newsom reading “Drink water!" Said the Otter at the July 2nd launch of BANPAC’s Early Childhood SFS Kit.

  • Jennifer Siebel Newsom, SF’s “First Lady” read “Drink water!” Said the Otter to an enchanted group of preschool children, after urging them to choose water over sweetened beverages.  When she suggested a slice or orange or lemon be added to water, one preschooler piped up “I love that!”

  • Nelson Artiaga-Diaz, DDS, MPH, Assistant Dean at UCSF School of Dentistry urged parents to prevent childhood dental caries by limiting sweetened beverages and substituting fruits and vegetables for sweetened foods.  Mark Ghaly, MD, MPH, Pediatrician and Director of Southeast Health Center urged parents of young children to avoid sweetened beverages to help prevent childhood obesity.

  • Laurel Kloomok, Executive Director of First 5 San Francisco welcomed attendees.  Her organization and FIRST 5’s in Santa Clara and San Mateo were supporters of the development and printing of the kit.

  • Drink Water! Said the Otter author Madeleine Berenson (Copycat Writing & Editing) and designer Sharee Robinson (MyGroove Design) were proudly in attendance.

  • THANK YOU to Shape Up San Francisco staff and BANPAC members Marianne Szeto and Amy Portello Nelson who planned, set up and coordinated this beautiful event, along with BANPAC member Libby Albert, Creative Director of this project and Christina Goette, BANPAC Leadership Council Chair.

  • Other attendees included Kathryn Boyle from Kaiser Permanente Northern California Region - the primary funder of BANPAC’s Soda Free Summer brochures for 2009, Lisa Craypo, BANPAC Leadership Council member who coordinated the 2008 program evaluation of Soda Free Summer, Laura Brainin-Rodriguez of the SFDPHD, Dawn Bussey, Communications Director at FIRST 5 Santa Clara, and Catherine Dodd, Ph.D., RN, from Mayor Newsom’s office.

  • Special thanks to “Drink Water!” Said the Otter planning group members Christina Goette, Annette Laverty (ACNS), Amy Portello Nelson, Marianne Szeto, and Diane Woloshin, Director, ACNS.

  Here’s a description of how Contra Costa Health Plan worked with their providers to mobilize a Rethink Your Drink/Soda Free Summer campaign.  About 95 providers at all of Contra Costa county clinics were sent the SFS flier (see link below) along with a cover letter that explained the campaign and intervention, SFS brochures, zip-lock bags filled with sugar to help demonstrate how much sugar is in a 24oz soda, brochures, and the SFS incentives.  A small description of the intervention was included in a quarterly provider bulletin; and providers were given a contact person if additional resources were needed.  The flier and other campaign resources are available on the BANPAC Website - Sugar Savvy Curriculum (Campaign Tool #6).

  The Holiday Inn Civic Center reports on their employee roof garden, inspired by the Network Worksite Program’s Be Sugar Savvy messages.  “By the way we had our first HARVEST - We picked - peppermint - basil - and four other types of herbs, the kitchen will be using the herbs for cooking - extra was distributed to our employees.”
Posted 07.18.08
  Saturday, June 14th, was the Alameda Soda Free Summer Kick-off which centered on a Soda Buy Back Program (modeling after Senator Perata’s gun buy back program) at a low income housing complex in Hayward.  It included the buy back, a soda dump, joining the SFS campaign, nutrition Olympics, nutrition bingo, educational displays, hula hoop and jump rope contests, a tattoo station, and water tasting.   Residents earned raffle tickets by bringing in soda, winning at bingo, and playing games and won locally donated prizes (skate boards, razor scooters, blender, lazy (efficient?) Susan tray, coffee, sports bags, footballs, etc).  Media coverage included a KTVU spot that ran Sat, Sun, and Mon which featured Alameda County’s “SFS Mom” talking about giving soda to her two year old - no more!
Posted 07.18.08
  The Network Worksite Program continues to include Be Sugar Savvy/Rethink Your Drink messages and training workshops around the Bay Area.  As a result, the San Francisco Civic Center Holiday Inn management has replaced free sodas with free soda waters and 100% fruit juices for employees.  At Christopher Ranch, in Gilroy, employees report drinking water instead of the formerly ubiquitous sodas and reducing fast food intake—with noticeable weight loss as a result!
