Wa-Rite
Wa-Rite meets on Friday mornings in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8:15-8:45. The meeting is from 9-10. Guests are encouraged to arrive by 8:40.
At its last meeting of the year, Dec. 29, Wa-Rite acknowledged Darleen Gardner for the most weight loss in December. This was her second top loser title. Gardner attributes her success to sticking to her program and goals.
It was also a meeting for members to share accountability, weight loss experiences and make plans for the future, with the focus on recommitment rather than regret.
Moving forward, the club’s nominating committee continues to work at full speed. The club’s officer elections will be on Jan. 26. $10 annual membership fees were due Jan. 5. Presentations will start Jan. 12.
LW female residents looking for support to get rid of the stubborn last few pounds are welcome.
