February 25 at 6:00 pm

The last week in February is traditionally known as “National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.” As Sustainer Jenny Johnston has discovered in her educational program visits to area schools, the term “eating disorders” is becoming taboo. The intended message is about healthy body image and positive self esteem. This year we will be celebrating these two messages at the event on
February 25.

At this new event a clip of the award-winning film, America the Beautiful, will be featured. This is an eye-opening movie with a riveting storyline. The theme of the movie is “Does America have an unhealthy obsession with beauty?” Filmmaker Darryl Roberts goes on a two-year journey to examine America’s new obsession; physical perfection. In America the Beautiful, we learn secrets, confessions, and strikingly harsh realities as Roberts unearths the origins and deadly risks of our nation’s quest for physical perfection.

The event will be held at the MCR Foundation of February 25 at 6 p.m. with
cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. There will be a shortened version of the film
shown. Reservations may be made online, by phone or mail. The cost is $40
per person or $75 per couple.
