Milestones
+ We did the Walk to Jerusalem this year which started late January and concluded in April on Good Friday. Approximately 35 members participated and we had a great time. Saints do enjoy healthy competition!
+ Participated in Play Roc for the first time this year. We’re currently working with AHA to develop some walking paths to encourage movement in the fall/winter.
+ The Powerful Tools for Caregivers class was very popular. Those in attendance requested we schedule it again in the fall so that others can take advantage of the information.
+ Antioch’s Culinary Ministry has added healthy choices to their menus. For example: salad, steamed vegetables, baked fish/chicken, and water instead of Kool Aid.
+ UPCOMING: Lifespan’s Living Healthy with Diabetes. Workshop topics planned: Stress Management and Are You Sleeping?
