About Chelsea Reads Together: The Blue Zones

October is Chelsea Reads Together month and this year the community is reading The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner. The book offers a prescription for living a longer, more beneficial and more satisfying life. Copies of The Blue Zones have been placed around town in hopes of the community reading the book, sharing their thoughts and passing the book on to friends. Chelsea Reads Together is a collaboration between the Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation, the Chelsea School District and the Chelsea District Library with the goal of bringing the community together in a dialogue on the topic of wellness. By inviting our entire community to read the same book, the Chelsea Reads Together committee hopes to create a common starting place to engage, learn and connect in healthy ways.

Special Kick Off Event Coming Soon!

Chelsea Reads Together kicks off Sunday, October 2 with keynote speaker, Biggest Loser Season 7 finalist, Ron Morelli. Obesity had been a constant struggle for every member of the Morelli family. A turning point came when Ron and his 18-year-old son Mike became contestants on NBC’s hit weight loss show the Biggest Loser season 7. Back at home in South Lyon, Michigan, the Morelli family challenged themselves to break their bad habits and take up a more active, healthy lifestyle. In 2011, they published a book: Fat Family/Fit Family: How We Beat Obesity and You Can Too. Join us to hear their story Sunday, October 2 at 2pm in the Washington Street Education Center Auditorium, 500 Washington Street. No registration required. For more information, call 734-475-8732 or visit chelseareadstogether.wordpress.com/events.
