Are you trying to lose a few pounds?  

Weigh Wise can help. Every month, you get a new focus using the latest science on how to manage weight which in turn prevents other health problems. 

It is written by expert Michelle Barth, RD, CDE, Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and DOD Board of Director.

Bollywood THIS Saturday,  9/8/12, 1-3 pm! (Download flyer and share with others here.)

Don't let the foggy days of summer get you down! Let a little Bollywood into your life. Joti Singh is the artistic director and founder of Duniya Dance and Drum Company. She travels often to West Africa, India, Punjab and Guinea to expand and share her knowledge of the unique blends of dance and drums from those areas and beyond. Everyone has a blast learning Bollywood from Joti!
 
 Join us at the  African  American Art &  Culture  Complex (AAACC)  located  at 762 Fulton  Street, San  Francisco  94102 (between  Webster  and Buchanan,  with easy  Muni access and  free  parking). AAACC has  donated Dance Studio A  space for us to use. We so  appreciate it!
  And if you want to break  out some moves virtually,  check out  our Bollywood Playlist, compliments of DJ  Charis

Email Theresa at [email protected] or call 1-877-765-4386 to say you plan to attend. This secures your spot and helps us have enough staff & supplies.  

  

Arrive promptly at 1 p.m. for check-in (or 1:15 if you are not doing the health screening). Bring water, a snack if you need it, and comfortable shoes. Our team of certified diabetes educators look forward to seeing you.
Expressive Diabetes Art Contest!

 

To kick off the annual Dance Out Diabetes dance-a-thon, all participants, volunteers and donors are invited to join in a design contest.

 

The winning design will be placed on a fitness bag to be given out during the 11/10/12 dance-a-thon.

The winner will receive $100, (10) fitness bags to give out to family/friends, and acknowledgment on all media used in conjunction with the design. We opted for a fitness bag as it will have so many more uses than a t-shirt.

 

Deadline: Designs must be received by 5 PM Pacific Standard Time Oct. 10, 2012.

 

For more information on how to enter, download the Expressive Diabetes Art Contest instructions.
