Wa-Rite

The Wa-Rite Club meets on Fridays from 9-10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. All female LW residents who are seeking support in losing weight are welcome to visit and should arrive no later than 8:30.

The club congratulates its top loser Shirlene Bradrick who lost 2 pounds in the week ending March 22. The club’s total loss for the week was 17 pounds.

At the last meeting, led by Vice President and laugh master Bev Bender, women learned about medical alert devices from member Marshia Larson. Larson acquired the device through her SCAN policy at a low price automatically deducted with her Medicare payment. She encourages everyone to look into this reliable life-saving option that she already used on different occasions. With a push of a button, the paramedics receive a help alert and arrive to the front door within minutes. Members also discussed the benefits of eating more fiber, and an easy access to fresh vegetables available for sale in front of Clubhouse 3 on the fourth Friday of every month, provided by the Lions’ Club.
