www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, February 8, 2013 · 10 Whole Foods to hold appreciation pancake breakfast Whole Foods Market, located at 301 Cornwall Rd., will hold a customer appreciation pancake breakfast Saturday (Feb. 9) to thank the public for raising more than $30,000 for Oakville's Fareshare food bank. During December, customers shopping at Whole Foods had the opportunity to donate to Fareshare at the cash register to help alleviate hunger locally this winter. "This is the third year we've offered the program and we are overwhelmed by our customers' and team members' generosity," said France Fournier, Whole Foods Market spokesperson. A large portion of the money pays for vouchers provided to families with children so they can get items such as milk, eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables. "Monetary donations are vital to our existence," said Dudley Clarke of the Fareshare food bank. "We need it to buy perishable food, such as ground beef, chicken and fish and other nutritious items not generally donated to food banks." Fareshare is run entirely by volunteers and on an average month will serve 357 families. "Response from our customers to the foodbank is always supportive and speaks to their generosity and the belief that no one should go hungry," said Tyron Goss, Whole Foods Market store team leader. "Actively supporting our community is one of Whole Foods Market's core values. We are extremely proud of our involvement and thrilled to partner with the Oakville Fareshare food bank." Non-profit organizations interested in benefiting from Whole Foods Market Oakville's charitable contributions can contact Fournier at 905-849-8400, ext. 107. The customer appreciation pancake breakfast will run from 9-11 a.m. Commemorate International Angelman Day on Feb. 15 European Engineering Combined With Traditional Workmanship To commemorate International Angelman Day (Feb. 15) a little early, there is a coffee event planned for parents of children with the syndrome at Marilyn Monroe Café on Tuesday (Feb. 10). The rare condition can be recognized in people who have excessive smiles and a happy demeanour and is caused by a missing UBE3A gene on the 15th chromosome, which is why the 15th day of the month was chosen to commemorate the syndrome. Angelman Syndrome is characterized by developmental delays and severe speech impairment. Those who suffer from the syndrome have complex physical needs and require constant supervision. At the coffee event, which starts at 10 a.m., parents will get a chance to become educated about the syndrome and raise awareness. The café is located at 350 Lakeshore Rd. E. On Friday, Feb. 15, St. Vincent Catholic School will also be recognizing the day. Children will dress in official International Angelman Day colours and there will be a number of activities.

Random Acts of Kindness in children can help reduce bullying: study 905.849.0266 Access Halton at: "Building on the Brightest Ideas Around Glass" During Random Acts of Kindness Week, which runs from Feb. 11-17, Kindness Coaches Steffi Black and Ivy Sims will visit Holy Family Catholic Elementary School to speak to classes about the importance of being kind. The Regional Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca Dial 311 The pair will visit the school on Monday (Feb. 11) and carry out workshops where kids are asked to choose a classmate's name from a box and then write two to three kind words about them. Black noted several scientific studies show that acts of kindness result in significant health benefits, both physical and mental. One Canadian study, she said, indicated children who performed acts of kindness several times a week for four weeks were more accepting of their peers afterwards, which in turn reduces the likelihood of being bullied.
