e-mail from Superstore Nut.!
I emailed the Superstore , saying that I was a member of a weight management support group and here is the answer I got-
Hi Charline! Thanks for your email. I would love to do a presentation/store tour for your group. I will attach a list of possible topic ideas but if you have any other ideas/suggestions please let me know. How large is the group?? Do you have any dates in mind?? The presentations take about an hour and I always bring up a large display of items to discuss upstairs (a virtual store tour if you will J). The cost of the presentations for non-profit groups is $50. A store tour is also a great idea but may not be feasible if you have a large group. You also have the option of including a healthy meal along with the discussion. The cost of this is $10+ tax per person. I will include a list of menu options in case this interests you. Let me know what you think! Ainsley Archer, BSc. RD
