Summertime......
and how long will this last?
So the warm weather brings to mind outdoor activities, BBQs, tomatoes, fresh basil, pretty flowers. I'm ready!!!!
However, today from 7:30 until 6:30 I have been sitting at this computer screen writing for $$$$. This girl is no grant writer but I thought perhaps I could muster up some small-grant writing abilities. So here's the plea - do you know of anyone who can offer some grant writing expertise?
You have read in earlier blogs, we are shameless, we will ask for anything. We clearly know our limitations and have no problem giving credit for successes to those responsible for the successes.
I wrote on Facebook today - how many ways you can support us. From supporting our Ragnar Relay athletes, to supporting our brave jumpers, to attending our Casino Night Gala to the newest event....
It's been a long time coming...our first annual
"Evelyn Knapp" Memorial Run!!
Planned with direction from GLIRC, the Greater Long Island Running Club for Sunday, November 21 at Sunken Meadow State Park. So start your training sessions now - we want everyone to participate!
Sponsors, sponsors & more sponsors - can you think of anyone, any company, any school, any organization who would help. Let us know!
All ideas are considered- we certainly do not claim to have the answers - just the drive to get this done.

From Walk theTalk.......
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.

In the news.....
letter - you will see the challenges we face even with spell check. I sat right next to Debbie as she spell checked the newsletter - I recall sponsorship, sponsoring etc - but I suppose if we neglect to hit SAVE - it is all for naught! So all of you "typo nuts" - this was like a search game - hope you enjoyed. And yes, indeed - I suggested myriad (with a d") for the description of help from the C. W. Post students simply because they continue to amaze us with ways to help.
Here's a plea, if you can help us secure sponsorships for the Casino night and/or the fall run - we appreciate it. We met with GLIRC, the Greater Long Island Running Club to engage their help in our first annual "Evelyn Knapp" Memorial Run and they presented us with a daunting list of expenses. Costs from $150 - $2000 for the variety of necessities in organizing this event. Not too proud to beg - if you can assist in any way - we appreciate it!

Dr. Matthew Lewis and Chef Marilyn Chiarello .....
Great night once again at PTI, Greenvale. Alex Lubarsky of the NAVEL EXPO continues to outdo himself, by engaging incredible health professionals to speak at the Big Long Island Million Pound Challenge. Raw food recipes...incredible and I can share them because they are not only delicious but so simple.
Point # 1 - Standard American Diet stands for SAD - over processed, highly adulterated food.
Point # 2 - Adopt one meal of raw, whole foods and you will have a 33% raw diet.
Point # 3 - Commit to yourself to do it over time. This kind of change is not going to happen overnight- you all know I do love baby steps.... and Dr. Lewis knows this worked for him.
Creamy Kale Salad
1 large bunch of kale
1 - 2 tomatoes
1 - 2 lemons
2 avocados

Strip kale off stalks, then cut or tear into bite size pieces (can use food processor). Add salt and hand process until "cooked." Add lemon, olive oil, diced avocado and continue to hand process. Add chopped tomatoes and optional scallions and toss. Sprinkle with optional cayenne.

Update on C W Post students.....and Divine Intervention
OMG - they are wonderful!
To date, changes are being made to our website, by a friend of one of Prof. Freeleys students - once removed and still getting help. A very talented web designer - if anyone is in need.
a Business Plan is in the works - first draft presented to us;
tomorrow we will be filming a press kit and starting an exercise video;
many more attempts to help are in the works!
Thank you!!!!
Divine Intervention- such a believer. As you might have read in the earlier post about the wellness weekend, Evelyn's three daughters joined us this weekend. We feel blessed! Since that time - all good things have been spinning around us! Today we were contacted by a family member who knew nothing of our organization in memory of Evelyn - and they want to be a part of it... full circle!
We contacted GLIRC, Greater Long Island Running Club and they were anxious to help us put together a run in Evelyn's memory, simply because so many knew and respected her.
Please understand - how we know that timing is everything! We have made attempts before to accomplish much - but hit road blocks - and for the moment, we are in sync with it all.
