FirstLight employees will take part in the Great Lakes Apple Crunch on Thursday, October 12th at 12:00pm.
Healthcare organizations, schools, businesses and other community groups throughout Minnesota and surrounding states will all crunch into a juicy, locally or regionally grown apple at the same time – at NOON!
Apples will be available in the dining room and Mora, Hinckley, Pine City, and Eye Clinic break rooms. If you want to be part of the fun and try one of several varieties of locally grown apples, meet at 11:55am in the hospital dining room or break room at your clinic. In Mora we will take a group photo as close to NOON as possible. Selfies and group photos from satellite staff are encouraged!
This event encourages healthy eating, as well as partnerships with local growers.
Watch for a calendar invite and more info to come next week!
