Hello guys!
I just finished the putting together the agenda and talking points for tomorrows meeting, you can download the May 11th Young adults with TBI Support Group meeting agenda and the document for my talk: nutrition the basics, before coming if you want, if not I’ll have copies for you there.
Just a reminder Our meeting tomorrow is being sponsored by Wholefoods! they have donated refreshments for the next three meetings and that’s why we’re talking about nutrition!
We have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and a limited amount of time so I’d like to ask you all to try and arrive on time if possible, if you’re running late no worries we’d rather have you there late than not at all, so just do your best to enter quietly if you do come a little bit late.

Hello folks -
If you click on the image above it will take you to the amazon.com page for this book, I try not to be too commercial but you can get a copy of the book for like $3 or something (+Shipping). And this is the easiest most straight forward book that i know of about nutrition. Why not own it? I’ll bring my copy to the meeting on Wednesday so you can all thumb through it… very short.
Also on the topic of nutrition let me remind you all that we have a new sponsor for the group… Whole Foods, which is exactly what we’ll talk about at our next meeting, Whole foods…. whole foods nutrition that is, not the store. sorry i couldn’t pass up the segue.
