Teryl Worster, Kristen Boye and Ricardo Boye would like you to join us for a fun filled hour together on our first Fitness in the Round field trip. We will be meeting at the Kroger on Thompson Bridge Road for an educational and inspirational healthy food choices tour. This is a great opportunity to tour a local grocery store with an organic chef, a nutritionist and a personal trainer guiding you through healthy food choices and cost saving tips. Kroger is pleased to host this event with us and will have their Organic Foods manager on hand to provide samples and answer questions. This is a rare opportunity to take a practical approach to understanding the value of reading labels and shopping for health. We look forward to seeing you there. Call to sign up today to ensure a place for you in our tour. We will be meeting at the Starbucks coffee shop inside Kroger.
