The weekend of March 15, we picked moer than 500 pounds of oranges from a U-Pick grower off Corkscrew that donated the fruit to Naples Harvest.(And we got a great work-out!) The local shelters are very appreciative since most of their donations are in the form of boxed or canned goods.  Through weekly donations, Food & Thought has donated more than 200 pounds of local produce in less than a month.  The more awareness there is in the community, the more we can benfit the community. Please spread the word to homeowners who have citrus and other produce that Naples Harvest is willing to pick if they are willling to donate even just part of their back yard harvest.

 

Although we prefer fruit and vegetable donations, if you would like to make a monetary donation on behalf of Naples Harvest, checks can be written to NNUMC (North Naples United Methodist Church) care of Naples Harvest. Or if you want to pick with us, we love a donation of your time. If you have any questions ask, Mike Edwards.

 

 

Starting this month, Fitness Inside & Out will be adding a 2% finace charge to credit card and debit charges.  If you pay by check or cash, this will not affect you.  I realize that clients like to use the cards for buisness purposes and points.  However, we have not had a fee increase in several years and we need to offset some expenses at this time. If you have any questions, let me know.  Thank you for your business and continued support.  Mike Edwards 

Fitness Inside & Out is starting another nutrition class in April.  If you are interested in the class, please let Mike Edwards know so he can add your name to the list.  Topics covered in the class, include the basics of nutrition and what your body needs, food label distortions and ingredients to avoid. 

 

The class is designed around the needs of the class and recipes are tailored to class participants as well.  The first two classes have been completly different based on class members and their interests. The class will include 3 sessions (1-hour each) and a cooking demonstration. Space is limited so email Mike at naplesfitness@comcast.net or call 239-649-7181. 

 

 

I have been creating a confidential database with our clients so we have current medications on file.  I just have 15 clients so far.  Ask your trainer for a medication sheet to update your records.  Because medications have side effects, it's important for us to know what you are taking so we can stay alert for issues that may affect your training and overall health. Thanks!!
