LUNAFEST - film event not to be missed on Jan 29 in Troy

This year the Team LUNA Chix Albany Triathlon and NY Mountain Bike teams are hosting LUNAFEST.   LUNAFEST was established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to simultaneously promote women filmmakers, raise awareness for women’s issues, and support worthy women’s nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

LUNAFEST is completely funded by LUNA and run by a small, dedicated group of LUNA employees. 100 percent of all proceeds are donated to charity – 15 percent to the Breast Cancer Fund and the remaining 85 percent of proceeds go directly back to hosting community organizations.

Over the years, as LUNAFEST has grown from a single annual event to more than 150 festivals each season, LUNA’s commitment to this worthwhile program has grown as well. We are continually inspired by the individual and collective efforts of women – and we are awed by the results. To date, LUNAFEST has raised over $570,000 for worthwhile women’s organizations, while raising hope and awareness for the stories of women everywhere.

This year the Albany area event will be at the newly renovated Revolution Hall next to Browns Brewing.

Stick with your resolutions

Did you make a resolution to get healthy in 2011?  The majority of Americans drop their resolution before the end of January.  This year stick with it by joining TEAM in Training.  You will be a goal event (triathlon, marathon, 1/2 marathon, century ride or hike), you will get coaching, you will get new friends with the same goals, and you will feel great about raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Informational meetings about the program have started.  Go to a meeting - there really is no pressure to sign up.  For some folks it takes years to get the guts up to sign up!  For some they even have to start coaching before they realize that yes the fund raising can be done.  I coached for 5 seasons before finally committing to raise the money for Mooseman in 2010.  It can be done and you would be amazed at who wants to support you.
