All lunches ordered will go towards the room cost at the Park Place Event Center. No distributor will benefit from your order; however, it will help the cost of the room. The Park Place Event center is a high class, first class facility and we want to make sure all your team has a great impression of AdvoCare.

We will not be taking a break for lunch so this is also the ONLY option!

Please send your check payable to Chris Andrews for $12.00 per box lunch. Thanks Chris for doing this very important task! There are several options available which include tax and gratuity.

Congratulation to Rachel Burkholder from Shannon, Illinois
New Advisor! Read her story!








I am a wife and mother of two young children. I had completely given my energy and life to everyone else and I would put myself last. I was overweight and fatigued. In March 2008 I was introduced to AdvoCare Spark. With that I was able to quit my addiction to pop and my two pots of coffee with creamer each day. I then did the Herbal Cleanse and after that I lost 10 lbs. There was no turning back. I began walking everyday and the weight and inches were starting to come off. I began running around our town and by the end of June 2008 I ran my first 5K. I signed on as an Advocare Distributor. I had nothing to lose, only so much to gain. My new outlook on life was amazing. I was so focused and my thinking was clear. I could accomplish so many of my daily tasks early in the day and so I had more time for my family in the evenings. I added MNS Max3, Catalyst, ThermoPlus, Muscle Gain, Meal Replacement Shakes, and Excel Gel to my daily routine. With that I ran my next 5K and I beat my last time by 2min. 3 sec. and I won 2nd place in my bracket. Then to top it all off I stepped on the scale the next day and I looked down to see that I had shed 30lbs! I'm currently at a 33lb. weight loss and so many inches lost that I've gone from a size 18 to a size 12 in 5 months all with AdvoCare products. I'm encouraged to see what more AdvoCare has in store for me.

Thank you AdvoCare and Weston & Laura Burkholder
my AdvoCare sponsors for helping me find myself again.

Joe Hadachek w/ Murray kids - Bryan, David, Amanda, & Laura















U of I Coach Ron & Denise Zook w/ Mike & Anne






AdvoBus in Bloomington!

The AdvoBus came to Bloomington, IL on July 22 and 23!

It was parked in the Central Catholic High School parking lot on the 22nd during football practice. Our son, David, is a senior this year. The team came over to our booth set up outside the bus and sampled Rehydrate and Post Workout Recovery. They kicked off their cleats and went inside the bus and watched the Drew Brees DVD on the big screen TV. There are approx. 15 players and 2 coaches who already use products - now we have planted seeds with the rest of the team!

On Wed. the bus was parked at Cub Foods along Veterans Pkwy. We sampled spark outside the bus and met with people inside the bus. Univ. of Illinois Football Coach Ron Zook and his wife Denise were our special guests on the bus at 4pm. He has used products for 8+ years and never has to worry if his players use AdvoCare! We were also fortunate to have our sponsor, Joe Hadachek, join us. He did a kettlebell demo in the evening and taught several people on our team how to do it - including Dan Barbour (who travelled down from Downers Grove), Brian Yelton and his son, Nathan, and me (I was sore the next day!), but it was fun!

We had alot of people on our team come by plus we sold about $850 in products to new people!

We love the bus - check out our pics in the photo album on the website!
