Landa Gaddy, of Youth Self-Improvement Inc., and a representative of Scalar Core International, of Owensboro, Ky., will discuss with board members a pilot program that will help children — through the use of a multi-purpose nutritional supplement called Nectavida — to improve their poor eating habits and obtain the nutritional requirements their bodies need to function properly.
According to Gaddy, the use of Nectavida helps solve several nutritional-related deficiency problems in children, including sleepiness, lack of energy, no interest in school, lack of focus, inattentiveness, poor grades and failure to follow instructions.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the commissioners room of the county administration building on East Elm Street.
In other business:
— Mike DeCinti, of Lumberton Radiological Associates, will update the commissioners on his plans for raising funds to assist women who cannot afford mammograms.
— Julie Barnes Baxley, with the Lumberton Gymnastics Academy Booster Club, will ask the commissioners to help fund the squad’s participation in the Region 8 Invitation Meet in Tupelo, Miss.
— The board will be asked to provide letters of support for Smiths Volunteer Fire Department and Evans Crossroads Volunteer Fire Department to finance the purchase of trucks from United Financial of North Carolina Inc.
— The board will be asked to award a contract totaling $191,800 to Wheeled Coach of North Carolina for the purchase of two ambulances. The ambulances will be paid for out of the county’s 2008-09 budget.
