<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lavinia Goto of NorthWest Senior and Disability Services is working on organizing a DPP lifestyle coach training to be held December 2014 in Salem. In order for the training to be offered, at least 12 participants are needed. This would
be a two-day training, on a Thurs-Friday or Friday-Saturday. The cost is $750 per person. (Through a special grant, the cost may be waived for participants from within the 12-county Eastern Oregon CCO region, including Sherman and Gilliam Counties where there
is a need to identity potential DPP lifestyle coaches.) Please contact Lavinia Goto by December 1 if you might be interested in participating or if you have questions. Email:<span style="color:#1F497D">
