The Dalles Blue Zones Project will launch in The Dalles later this month with a series of focus group meetings to talk about what they love about the community and what they would like to see change.  The Dalles was recently selected to host one of four Blue Zones Projects in Oregon, a community well-being initiative to make healthy choices easier.  Five topics will be explored during the focus group meetings on May 22 and 23 at The Dalles Civic Auditorium: Community policy, worksites, schools, engaging individuals, and faith-based communities.   Information from the focus groups, along with a community survey and other activities, will help put together a strategic plan to be created later this summer by volunteer leaders, local staff and national experts.  Each focus group will be offered three times and will take up to 90 minutes, and schedules and sign-ups to take part are available at go.bluezonesproject.com/thedalles_rsvp.
