TOPS Chapter 319 El Dorado Springs met in the Church of Christ meeting room on Thursday, Aug.10.

Our new leader, Sheryl, opened the meeting and Kay led us in singing “Take me Out to the Chapter.”

Marilyn led us in doing some exercises to get everyone into the meetingl

Sheryl led us in Roll Call.  The best loser for the week was Jan with a loss of 2.4 lbs.  Congratulations, Jan.

Twenty-five members weighed in today and the chapter had a net loss of 3.6 lbs.

Marilyn gave out awards for those who missed last week’s meeting.  Chris, Linda and Susan all received a Back in Black with perfect attendance certificate.  Susan also received a Steady Loss for Six Weeks certificate.

At the beginning of the year there was a challenge made to everyone to lose 10 pounds this year.  For anyone losing 10 pounds from the weigh in at the first meeting in January to the weigh in at our last meeting in December.  Everyone who has lost 10 pounds this year will be entered into a drawing for $50 at the end of the year.

Carol reported that seven members have reached their 10 pound loss.  Those members are Steve, Juanita, Jerrie, Angie, Warren, Juda and Melissa.

Sheryl reminded us that our Baked Potato Luncheon is going to be Sept. 21.

Our Fall Rally is planned for Oct. 7 at Rich Hill.

Sheryl had the program today, and she handed out sheets of paper to every member and everyone’s thoughts on what we could do, if anything, to add to our meetings.  We will hear the results at next week meeting.

Our meeting next week will be in the Church of Christ sanctuary.

“IF IT IS TO BE, IT’S UP TO ME.”

Our friend and TOPS member, Nikki, is in the El Dorado Hospital.  Please remember her in your prayers.
