Whole Foods Market
Price: $10.00 per person
Let's support Whole Foods Market Wellness Club - a new endeavor that educates and promotes a plant-based (read Vegan!) diet in the city!
The Wellness Club at Whole Foods Market is a program created by two doctors and a registered dietician aimed at teaching the public about a the health benefits of a plant based lifestyle through a series of nutrition, cooking, and fitness classes. This is a pilot program for Whole Foods Market, started by their CEO (who is vegan). If the progam is successful, down the road, every Whole Foods Market will open a Wellness Club in its store.
Whole Foods Market Lincoln Park Wellness Club invites ChicagoVeg to see what they are up to! Please join us for an "all you can eat" chef-created vegetarian meal and a 60 minute cooking class where we focus on healthy plant based cuisine. We'll start at 5:45, you'll grab a scrumptious plate of food and then go right into cooking class.
The event will be on the second floor in Lincoln Park Whole Foods Market store. There is free inside and outside parking.
The Wellness Club offers a special discount price of $10 (regular price is $45!) for a dinner and cooking demo to all ChicagoVeg members.
If you'd like to attend, please RSVP both here and by calling [masked] to pay in advance.
Space is limited so please RSVP soon!

Any question or comments? Car-pooling arrangements? Please use "Talk about this Meetup" section on the event page.
Just a clarification about "chef-created vegetarian meal": It will be actually totally vegan. In fact it will be prepared without use of salt, sugar, or oils.
Whole Foods doesn't have a record of my RSVP. Anyone else having problems with registration?
Verria - Please call Whole Foods (as instructed in the event description) to pay for the event. This way they will have you on their list and your meetup RSVP will be finalized. If you have paid them already, ask for Melissa to resolve the issue.
How late will this go?
Thanks!
Hi James, this event will go until just after 7p.m. And Verria, I know we spoke on the phone a couple weeks ago and you're all set but - sorry about that! Glad we cleared up the misunderstanding. :)
Thanks to all of you who joined us for this fun, yummy, and educational event yesterday! Special thank you to Melissa with Whole Foods Wellness Club for organizing it!
