CELEBRATE HEALTHY, HAPPY COMMUNITIES WITH US ON SEPTEMBER 19TH


Feeling good can come down to making the right choices for yourself and the world around you.

The Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley invites you to celebrate healthy choices and a sustainable environment at their second annual Healthy Communities event on September 19, 2013 from 4-6:30 p.m.

Healthy Communities will feature local vendors that will showcase the many ways you and your family can eat healthy, recycle, and understand your environmental impact. Kids can also forward to special prizes this year.

Vendors include Community Action for Safe Teens, Milford Police, Milford Fire Department, Milford Ambulance, Beaver Brook Association, bigpicwellness, Skillings & Sons, Comfort Zone Therapeutic Massage, H20 Waste Disposal Services, Manchester food Coop, Julies Happy Hens, Envirotek USA, Naturally Clean and more!

The Boys & Girls Club has made it a point to keep your children healthy through its many active programs, and wants the whole community to learn about healthy lifestyle choices.

“We want to continue supporting  healthy lifestyle choices, which we feel is a crucial part of the local community,” said Director of Marketing & Outreach Kevin Salemi. “Promoting these choices goes hand-in-hand with our mission to enhance the quality of life for kids and adults.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley has an arsenal of programs that help develop fitness, a positive use of leisure time, reduction of stress, appreciation for the environment and social and interpersonal skills.

Programs include a Healthy Habits Program that teach kids how to cook more nutritious food options, sports programs that include their exciting rock climbing wall and environmental programs that get the kids out and exploring the world around them. Thrill-seekers can also look forward to skiing and snowboarding this winter with the Xtreme Team program coming this winter.

Skillings & Sons, Inc., Triangle Credit Union, and Envirotek USA are sponsoring this free event this year. All proceeds from Healthy Communities will support health and fitness programs at The Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley.

Healthy Communities is free for all to attend and will take place at the The Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley location at 56 Mont Vernon Street in Milford. The event is rain or shine. For more information contact Donna Rosenstock at drosenstock@svbgc.org or 603-672-1002 ext. 12.
