Ok, we know it's coming, it happens every year, let's get a head of the game and get in shape now!! 6:00pm (healthy)refreshments and mingling 6:15pm We are fortunate to have Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, Sarah Brady, from Fit For You here to do a talk about nutrition, what foods promote health (and fill you up faster!) What foods you should definitely stay away from. She will talk about how to speed up your metabolism with food and exercise. The results will you get from lifting weights vs cardio (besides just muscle). And MUCH MUCH more. You don't want to miss it!

Please be prepared to help each other out with referrals and suggestions to help us grow our businesses. 7:30pm Wrap up. We need to be out of the building at 7:45pm.

THIS IS A JOINT OUTING WITH MA SAMS & FRIENDS, MERRY MUTTS OF THE NORTH SHORE, AND WINTHROP DOGS! Join old friends and new on this wonderful outing! INTRODUCTION You can see a video of the last Thompson Island trip (thanks to MA Sams & Friends meetup) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r73sPy0WI10. Our friends at the City Water Taxi (Captains Rob, Steve and Garth) have invited us for a wonderful day trip (approximately 3 hours) to Thompson Island. During the summer, Thompson Island hosts a large Outward Bound Program. During the off season, it is a wonderful place to romp and play for kids of all ages, dogs and everyone else who tags along. THERE IS NO PUBLIC ACCESS during the winter months -- only privately arranged trips are allowed to visit. Our group will be the only ones on the island! Dogs are not permitted in the summer season, but during the off season, it is a wonderful place for them to run off leash. No cars, no strangers, no unfriendly dogs or people, no unknowns. Trails, fields, beaches, everything a dog could want. A private island all to ourselves! Thompson Island is 169.9 acres and is owned by the National Park Service. The islandÃ?Â's natural features include a drumlin and a moraine; oak, tamarack, maple, and birch trees; open fields, wild flowers, and berry bushes; a pond; and 50 acres of salt marsh. It is home to many animals, including killdeer, herons, and hermit crabs. DETAILS When: April 10, 2010, meeting at 11:30am, boat leaves at 12 noon SHARP! the whole trip will be about 3 hours in total (including 25 minute boat ride to/from the island and about 2 hours on the island) Where: We meet at Scup's in the Harbor, 256 Marginal Street, Building 16, East Boston (in the Boston Harbor Shipyard & Marina in East Boston). There is free parking there. Scups is a DOG FRIENDLY restaurant with outdoor seating where dogs are permitted. They even have water bowls & treats for the dogs. They are known for their breakfast, so you may want to come early and have breakfast before the trip! You may also call them in advance and they will pack a lunch for you to take on the trip. The staff there is very accommodating and the food is excellent. The boat dock is next door to Scups (in the Boston Harbor Shipyard & Marina in East Boston). After meeting at Scups, we will go to the dock together and board the boats. The boat will then take us for a 25 minute boat ride to the island where we will have about 2 hours to freely roam the island! We will then return to the boats and ride back to Scups together. The whole trip will last about 3 hours. Fees: This is a rare event where we are charging to participate. This fee represents the actual cost and it all goes to our private boat captain. (The fees are assuming that we have at least 15 adults, we can not go with less than 15 people - but I'm sure we'll have more than that!). $25.00 Ã?Â- adult $12.50 - ages 12-18 Free - children 12 and under (one per paying adult) Free - dogs (one per paying adult) You must pay by Paypal, cash or check at least 5 days before the trip to secure your position. There will be a limited number of people allowed, so if you are interested, contact me ASAP! Paypal accepts credit and debit cards; payments should be made to [masked] (Heather is the organizer of MASam Meetup). Please add $1.50 per person if paying by Paypal to cover the Paypal transactions fees. If you would like to pay by cash or check, please email me (Sarah) for details. NO REFUNDS unless you cancel at least 5 days in advance. You may, however, sell or transfer your ticket to someone else. We go weather permitting. In case of heavy rain or snowstorm, we will postpone. If you cannot make the new date, your fee will be refunded. Bikes, scooters, XC skis, dog sleds may all be brought along free of charge. WHAT TO BRING There are FLUSHING, clean bathrooms on the island, but no food. Please be sure to pack snacks and drinks for yourself and your pup. Fresh water for the dogs is available in the bathroom, but please bring a suitable bowl. As always, bring pooper-scooper baggies to clean up after your dog! Also, since this is a day trip, be sure to wear appropriate clothing for possible changes in the weather as well as comfortable shoes (sneakers are recommended!). You may also wish to bring your dog's favorite toy(s). HOW TO RSVP Because this meetup is a bit different than others, please do not RSVP until you are 100% sure you will go. Once you can make the commitment, please pre-pay (by PayPal, cash or check, as discussed above). If you can not go, please RSVP as a "no". I have not allowed people to RSVP as a "maybe"... so if you are unsure, please wait to make a decision before RSVP-ing. We MUST have a confirmed number to provide to the boat captains ONE WEEK before we leave, please do the right thing and help us stay organized! Feel free to email me at ANY time to ask questions, I am here to help!
