we have just a couple activities scheduled this month.
Coming Soon!
The Northeast Regional Healthy Foods Marketplace
Thursday, August 14, 2008
10:00AM - 3:00PM @ the Crowne Plaza, Warwick, RI
This event brings vendors of healthy foods together with buyers seeking
those products. All single-serve products exhibited during this free tradeshow
meet the RI Healthy School Snacks and Beverages Law. Meal items will be
approved for the show using nutrition criteria that is based on the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans. This year, once again, we want to reach out
and invite food buyers from colleges and universities, worksites, childcare,
hospitals and other care facilities, as well as local distributors to
join school foodservice buyers in taste-testing and collecting samples
to bring back to your clients. Wellness Committee members are also welcome
to come so you can influence healthier buying decisions in your school,
business or community.
