OKHealth Wellness 2013 "Learn with Lunch" Series
Final "Getting Real" Workshop & Soup Cook-Off

Hey, folks! Since the State Charitable Campaign (SCC) is already hosting a great chili cook-off on Oct. 24 at the State Capitol (we encourage you to attend!) … let’s have a SOUP cook-off for our final “Getting Real” workshop!

The event will be held from noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013.

This will be our final workshop for the year. Becky Varner MS, RD, LD, a registered dietician at Buy For Le$$ grocery, will briefly review what we discussed in the first 3 workshops: An honest look at today’s nutritional challenges. Becky wants us remember this especially: Perfection is NOT the goal. Small changes over time result in healthier eating habits and better health.

IMPORTANT: We will be meeting at a different location for this workshop - the Capitol Room (3rd Floor room) at the Oklahoma Employees Credit Union, located at 3001 N. Lincoln Blvd., OKlahoma City, OK. By vehicle, this is one minute from the State Capitol. A map of the Capitol complex may be found at http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/cmplxmap/capcomplex.pdf.

Please carpool as parking space is limited and use the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) parking lot that is just north of OECU, but south of 30th Street. Be sure to let OECU know how much we appreciate the use of their building.

All soups entered in the cook-off will be judged on taste, appearance and the use of whole/natural ingredients (versus artificial). Please bring a sign that shows all of the ingredients. Remember: Fat is good (even butter) in correct proportions.

To register, please email Cassandra Bachrach at cassandra.bachrach@omes.ok.gov. Registration is limited to 45 persons. Please register by noon, Monday, Oct. 28 and sign up to bring homemade soup and/or homemade cornbread.

See you soon,
