Looking for Extra-Cool Extras
|
| Join us as we make cinematic history.
Are you ready for your close-up?  | It'll be historical for us, at least.
Do you own a corporate-y, office-y looking outfit? Oh, you do?
Are you a male or a female between the ages of 25ish and 55ish Oh, you are?
What are you doing on Tuesday, May 18th? Oh, that's right, you're hanging out with the Recess crew, playing an extra in a hilarious little movie about wellness programs gone wrong.
We hope you'll consider finding yourself in the Wilsonville area any time between 7am and 5pm on the 18th. Free food and your own copy of our first theatrical endeavor!

Highlight on Health Immersion Sponsors
|
| Keepin' things fresh, local, fun, and healthy.
Here are two things we love:
Supporting breast cancer research and raising funds for autism awareness.
Here are two things that confuse us:
Supporting breast cancer research by selling buckets of fried chicken and raising funds for autism awareness by selling burger scented candles.
Wait, what?  | Does anyone else sense notice a slight, um, inconsistency in the messaging here?
Especially since scientists estimate that about11,000 to 18,000 deaths per year from breast cancer in U.S. women over age 50 might be avoided if women could maintain a BMI under 25 throughout their adult lives and children on the autism spectrum are more likely to be obese than their typical peers.
So when it comes time for Recess to seek out companies that generously offer discounts or donate products for our Health Immersion program, it's really important to us that the sponsor fits in with the natural, no-funky-chemicals-wellness that we embrace.
And when we can, we like to keep things local. That way we get to know the people behind these incredible companies, our Health Immersion participants get to know their products, and then when you go back for more freshly baked bread, or a stress-busting massage, or a vigorous yoga class, you get to know these people too! It's like a wonderful web of wellness.
That's why this month, we're featuring Dinner at Your Door. Founder Margot Feves set up a system where you can sign up to have a healthy meal delivered to your Portland doorstep once a week. In a nod to Mother Nature, meals are prepared in reusable glass containers and delivered in reusable shopping bags, and then containers and bags are picked up the following week.
That's more like it.  | Margot's meals sound delicious (eggplant lasagna with a spinach salad, anyone?) and are super affordable--especially considering you get to eat in the comfort of your own home and not have to do dishes or throw away take-out containers.
Best of all, she's offering a free two-person dinner delivery ($24 value) to anyone enrolled in Health Immersion this year. Plus, Margot herself is joining the ranks of Health Immersion participants in July, so in between down dogs and jumping jacks, you might be able to slip in a meal request!
