Beginning October 19th 2009 among our family and friends we had a contest on “The Biggest Loser” on who could lose the most weight in a period of 12 weeks. Starting out with 12 contestants weighing in every week, staying with a healthy program and being focused throughout the time was very challenging. Finally, out of our 12 we ended with 6 contestants and we have our winners.

Lost: 14.8 pounds – Grand Prize was $240 cash.

(No Picture Available) Lost: 9.8 pounds - Prize was a $50 gift card.

Lost: 6.2 pounds- Prize was a “6 Month Parking Spot”.

Also, Denise Ripley is our “Employee of the Month” for January 2010.

May is National Older Americans Month. From the Administration on Aging:

“ Each year the Administration on Aging (AoA) issues a theme for Older Americans Month to assist our National Aging Services Network of state, tribal, area agencies on aging, and community services providers plan for activities that might take place in May or throughout the year. This year’s theme “Living Today for a Better Tomorrow” reflects AoA’s continued focus on prevention efforts and programs throughout the country that are helping older adults have better health as they age and avoid the risks of chronic disease, disability and injury.
