Wa-Rite celebrated top losers at its first meeting of the month

The Wa-Rite Club supports and encourages its members as they pursue their weight loss goals and gain friendships through contests with cash prizes, weekly swap meets, parties with crowns, informative presentations and occassional funny money contests. The club meets every Friday from 9-10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8:15-8:45 a.m., and optional for guests. Female LW residents are welcome to visit any of the club’s meetings, and should arrive by 8:45.

At the club’s first meeting of the month, Kathleen Hessley was named a top loser for the week ending Feb. 2. The Wa-Rite also celebrated its January queen Marshia Larson, and degreed members Shirlene Bradrick, Denise Stabile and Ellen Larson. After the acknowledgements, announcements and awards, the club held its annual officers election, and welcomed a new board member Bev Bender. She will be replacing the retiring first Vice President Rosie Calhoun. Other officers welcomed to serve another year in their current positions are Judy Chambers as President, Marina Tesla as second Vice President, Marshia Larson as Secretary and Shirley LeBrecque as Treasurer. Darleen Gardner and her assistants Annette Canale and the newly elected Henrietta Peavy will continue leading the weight recorder crew.
