8th Annual Austin Film & Food Gala
Living in Austin we’re often surrounded by enticing events like wine tastings and entire weeks of sampling food at reduced prices. Sometimes I wonder how we’re not all 400 lbs, but then I remember what an active community Gables Pressler apartments is and I understand why. October will not have a shortage of mouth-watering events in Austin to stretch our waistlines, but the 8th Annual Film & Food Gala is too good to miss.

We are very lucky at Gables Pressler apartments to live only 4 miles away from the original Central Market North Lamar location. As the original location of Central Market, the North Lamar store has the biggest and best of the Central Market extravaganzas, and has even become its own tourist attraction. In celebration of Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, Central Market is throwing a Dia de los Muertos party & parade.
See the giant Dia de los Muertos puppets in the parade, watch a performance by the Austin Samba School, Acadêmicos da Ópera, and enjoy live Latin dance tunes all day. The parade will last from 6:30 to 9:00pm in the courtyard area on October 30. Learn to create your own sugar skull in the cooking school. Two classes will be held, one at 10:00am and one at 2:00pm.
Are you going to attend the Dia de los Muertos event at Central Market?

According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation “nearly one-third of American children are overweight or obese and nearly two-thirds of teens and children do not exercise enough”. However, the residents at Gables Pressler can help change these statistics and assist to bring awareness to this problem.
I know many of you wished that you would exercise more. Speaking for myself I wish I would. Exercising not only tones your body; it strengthens your muscles, keeps your bones strong, and improves your skin.
With your support Gables Pressler residents, IBM Uptown Classic can help to deliver the innovative MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It!) program to undeserved families in Travis and Hays counties are no cost . This event takes place on October 17, 2010 and will begin at the IBM Austin campus and go through the Domain shopping center. We at the Gables Pressler would like all residents to participate and help create a better future for generations to come.
