Proper Eats Loves You!!

Benefit for Micah Perry!

Thanks to everyone who came out last night to support our neighbor, Micah Perry of HELD Belts. People made off with some treasures in the silent auction--- thank you to the local businesses that contributed merchandise and gift certificates for the cause!!

There is still a way to contribute to Micah's ballooning health care expenses. The 10 for 10 Challenge means you find ten people to donate 10 bucks, knocking out a cool $100 without breaking the bank! Contributions can be made at HELD Belts, Micah's store at the foot of the St Johns Bridge. Check out his website www.strongestbeltsintheworld.com

Thank you to Salty Teacup, Lilytoad, The Parlour, Body Bistro, The Crystal Cathedral, Housefarm, St Johns Booksellers, the Proper Family, Geare Music and Poppy Massage for donating items to the silent auction.

Be Well, Do Good Work, and Keep in Touch!

Forks over Knives at Fox Tower Jan. 7th!!!!

Hello Friends!!!

Take your skeptical non-veg family and friends to see the new film,

the research behind the claim that changing the foods
we eat can prevent, and even reverse, many
chronic debilitating diseases. The experiences of
actual patientsare also featured, including some
whose doctors expected them to die.
Forks Over Knives opens January 7 at
the Regal Fox Tower Theater.
