• February 12th for gatherings. February 11th is cut off for squares, or other Superbowl themed games.

• Meant as another fitness related activity to promote healthy behaviors. Including this grab and go activity outside your fitness center, or creating an in person event is very easy to do.

• Basic Supplies needed: healthy snacks, granola, yogurt, and fresh fruits.

The key to a successful Chili Bar is a great tasting Chili, and a variety of options. By letting residents customize their servings, everyone will go home full and happy. Try and manage a serving station so residents can say thank you and you can manage any potential mess.

The initial display will play a big part in your attendance. The food brings them to the door, the display invites them in....sound familar?

• This is a fun, and interactive resident event. More suited for kids as an in person gathering. Allow residents to partake in a specific day event, or submit photos of their funniest hats as a content generator.
