Hi!
If you found this site, you have been contacted by me (*hopefully*) about being a vendor for our upcoming Nutrition Fair. I wanted to create a way to have the information available for all interested entities and people. Hopefully, this will be easy to share and communicate as the event day grows closer.
This is not the only event to plan for yet. If you are unable to participate in this fair, for any reason, there is the Annual Health and Wellness Fair coming in April 2014!
I have hand-picked those that I am reaching out to for the Nutrition Fair. I feel that you have a unique quality to bring that will reach a specific audience in our community population.
Since this is the first Nutrition Fair in 3 years, and specifically since the last nurse has retired, I would love to make an event to make her proud! I want this fair to be nutrition-based. I have picked entities with specialties- such as Sports Nutrition, Health Food Store, local bakery, Diabetes Nutrition, Cancer, etc. I have also picked specific people/entities - Dieticians, Doctors, Nutritionists, Chefs, Health foods, consultants, etc. Lastly, I picked community assistants - Poison control, restaurant supply, alcohol awareness (reeks havoc on your body!!), etc. Of course, there is also one completely about chocolate! There is something very unique about each entity that I want to make available to those in this community.
I want your resources to be known.
Most people, myself included, I did not know about most of these resources! It was not until I started looking that I was able to find everyone.
I will post some pictures from this past Health and Wellness Fair. This upcoming fair will be in a different location on campus.
Ready for the details?
As the health center, I plan to provide some refreshments. It will not be anything major, I want the focus to be on you and what you want to share (information, pamphlets, demonstrations, etc).
If there is interest, I can create a speaker area or a place for a larger scale demonstration or presentation.
Breakdown.
Who - Health Vendors (YOU!)
What - Nutrition Fair
When - November 6, 2013 from 9a - 12p
Where - Mountain View College, West Entry and Foyer
How - I provide people, snacks, vendor raffle, tables, chairs, and facility. You provide company info.
Why - Nutrition is so vitally important and yet many of us take advantage of it. We eat what is available, what is 'convenient'. Our health suffers. Our quality of life suffers. We grow tired, weary, and out of shape. Let us show the community what is available to them. Lead them to better choices. Inform them of better ways.
Cost (the biggest factor) - Free.
I cannot say it is totally free (*gasp!*).
You printed something to share, right? As for attending or having a table, the event is free. It is free for students, free for staff, free for police, free for community members. Everything else, is sponsored by the college and the health center.
