Donations to Community Food Pantry

March 4, 2010 - 10:56am — joy

I was just wanting to remind everyone of my challenge for the community food pantry. Wouldn't it be great if we could donate 1300 or 1400 pounds of food. The would even appreciate 500 or 1000.
I am looking forward to taking in my 10 to 15 lbs. I only wish it could be more.
I have joined a team for the Walk across Kansas. So maybe I can keep the weight coming off and will be able to make a personal donation at the end of it also.
I would love that to be my way of thanking these groups for the added encouragement to get up and get moving.
I would love to hear some responses to this challenge. And please pass the word on. I do not think that a lot of the people participating are checking the Blog, or know what to do with it.

Walk Kansas Registration due THIS Friday!

March 1, 2010 - 5:02pm — K McEwaa

Walk Kansas begins this Sunday, March 7! Team registration packets are available in the Allen County Extension office and are DUE BY 5:00 PM THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 5.
Walk Kansas is a great way to keep your motivation going by forming a team of 6 friends, family or co-workers and working toward the goal of "walking" across Kansas - 423 miles! Any form of physical activity, above and beyond your normal daily routine, counts and is recorded in minutes. 15 minutes of physical activity counts as 1 mile. Walk Kansas can also help you keep on track with your food choices as you record your cups of fruits and veggies and whole grain foods eaten.

Registration is $7/person. Optional Walk Kansas t-shirts are also available for order for an additional fee.
For more information, call Kathy in the Extension office at 365-2242.

I think we need to keep this meltdown thing going all year round.

Anyone that has not picked up their Meltdown sweatshirt needs to do so. The shirts are at the Thrive office in Iola (North side of the square). If you are unable to pick the sweatshirt up, call Sunny at the Thrive office to make other arrangements.

Great Learning and Great Fun!

Hey to all who have been diligently working on your weight loss. What I have enjoyed the most is seeing new people and sharing the challenges with them. The classes given by Roger Campbell on health and fitness have been really good. We would all be healthier and happoer if we just take care of this body we have. Then our line dancing classes have brought a few of us together as we enjoy Demaris and her patience with some of us who are slower learners than other(myself in this category). It is great exercise and a lot of fun. Thanks Roger and Demaris for giving of your time and know-how.
