Our first AVS Film Night (August 14) was a great success! Nineteen people from Palmer, Wasilla, Anchorage and Eagle River all watched Jeff Novick's presentation: Calorie Density, How to Eat More, Weight Less, and Live Longer.
Many people enjoyed the evening and they are looking forward to the next Film Night in October.
We had some lively discussion and healthy snacks of fresh garden vegetables and grapes.
