Winning with Janes Family Foods
As we mentioned last month, throughout 2013 we'll be doing a random monthly draw for one FBC Member who will win a prize voucher from our Weekly News Sponsor, Janes Family Foods. It's time to announce February's winner - Jennifer Molnar from The Best Thing I Ever Ate. The lucky number from random.org was #14 which means, Jennifer was one of our very first members to ever join FBC!! Congrats! Melissa will be in touch shortly to get your prize on its way to you! And big thanks to Janes for sponsoring the draw!

We're very happy to have Arla foods back with us this year as the sponsor of the weekly Featured Member Blog. To add a little more excitement to the surprise of who our featured blog is each week, we've put together a monthly giveaway. At the end of each month we'll be throwing all the selected blogs for that month into a hat and drawing out one name. The winner will receive $25 in Arla product vouchers good for the purchase of any Castello, Tre Stelle, Apetina or Dofino Cheese product! We'll announce our first winner for the month of March in April's first news post!

Do you know someone with a Be Well Story or are you living a Be Well Story?
It could be someone making a difference in their community, a business that’s doing it for the right reasons, or someone that has made a positive change in their life that has inspired others to do the same. It could be you?!?
You can read all the details and see three of the very inspiring videos that have already been made here.
