Leader Sheryl Ann called our meeting to order and Carol led us in singing “TOPS Helping Hand.” We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.

Marilyn then led us in some exercise.

Sheryl led us in roll call and walking report. Twenty-six weighed in today and the chapter had a net loss of 8.0 lbs. Traci was the best loser of the week with a loss of 3 lbs. Congratulations Traci. So glad you could be with us today.

Sheryl had everyone vote on the t-shirt design they liked the best.

Sheryl announced the spring workshop our Area Captain Claudia will be holding in Bolivar on Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to noon. It will be held at the United Methodist Church; same place Fall Rally was last year. All members are invited to go.

We sang Happy Birthday to Melissa who will be celebrating her Birthday on May 19. We sang to Susan as well as her birthday is the same day as Melissa’s but Susan was not here to hear us.

Sue C won the right to draw for the marble but did not get the winning one.

Contest report: Juanita got to draw again today, there are several who only need one more letter to get to select a gift, they are: Linda C, Susan, Carol, Linda H, Jean, Marie, Warren, Judy B and Robbie.

Judy B reported on the good time she had at SRD and is looking forward to going again,

Linda H told of a quote Rick Danforth gave during his speech: “I can’t change the direction of the wind but I can adjust my sails”.

The floor was turned over to Steve and Juanita for the program. They presented a skit they took from the TOPS web site. They gave each member a TOPS first aid kit. It was a very cute, enjoyable and fun program. Thank you, Steve and Juanita.
