Today-grey and looks like it might rain or snow. Great. NOT.
We had a booth at the Middlesex Comm. College health/wellness fair today and it was a lot of fun! There's great energy on any college campus and Middlesex is no exception. JFenn came with me and we sat there and welcomed folks, handed out our 100 calorie packs (with a free class coupon attached of course) and had fun people watching! We had the current DVD running so folks could see what we do and our new 'standing banner' was up making us look just about the most professional in the room!
We had a lot of traffic at our booth and gave away a lot of coupons and schedules. Here's hoping some folks come on over! This is the 2nd health fair we've done where we were asked to be the only fitness representation...which is great! We look forward to going back next year!
It's also potluck night at the Center so we are hoping for a nice, big turnout and lots of yummy food!
You may ask yourself-why are you having a potluck at a fitness center? Good question!
When we moved here to our larger, more palatial (ha) space I wanted to do something with the evening classes. The AM folks go out for coffee but we didn't have anything social 'to do' at the time. So, I thought "Why not ask folks to bring food for after class and we sit around and laugh and eat together after a great workout?" That first one, I didn't know who'd show up-it was packed!
Now, we get between 10-30 people (depending upon the month of the year) and so many folks bring us tasty food-it's so great! DF brings those great chicken bites, DC brings in chinese (a little is ok!) and MW always brings a tasty treat. We provide the pizza and paper products as a base and it goes from there!
So, if you're around tonight after our 6:30pm class, stop by the J and partake of some laughs and great food! You might meet some new friends and go away with a full tummy and a full heart!
