New Wa-Rite visitors can attend up to three meetings for free before joining the club.

The Wa-Rite Club meets on Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, from 9-10 a.m. Weigh-ins are from 8:158:45 and are optional for visitors. The annual membership fee is $10. Weekly dues are 10 cents. All female residents looking to improve their health and lose at least 10 pounds are invited to join any of the club’s meetings, by arriving no later than 8:30 a.m. Guests are welcome except for the members-only meetings. On Dec. 15, the Wa-Rite members celebrated Christmas with food, music, a holiday song contest and the awards ceremony to acknowledge the club’s year-end top losers. The party decorations were coordinated by Marina Tesla.

Pat Miller won the top loser title with a year-end total weight loss of 17.5 pounds. Denise Stabile was second with a 12-pound loss. Third place went to Judy Chambers who finished the year 11 pounds lighter. Shirlene Bradrick got the top loser degree for the most consistent accountability and adherence to maintaining her weight goal.

Member Linda Rich took first place in the holiday song contest.
