Corporate Cup Making Participants Healthy
|
You can keep up to date with the schedule, results, stories and pictures from this year's Corporate Cup by visiting the website. Many people are not aware of one of the great events held for Healthy Team members - 3 free healthy meals prepared by the culinary staff at Griffin Hospital. The breakfast was held on March 5, and the dinner was last Thursday. Lunch is still to come on May 9. The purpose of the meals is to show participants that food can be healthy and tasty at the same time - and the Griffin chefs show how to prepare healthy meals. Check out the video of the dinner demonstration:
