TOPS MO # 9319 El Dorado Springs morning group

TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the United Methodist Church, 201 E Broadway on Thursday May 23, for their weekly weigh in and meeting.

Leader Sheryl Ann called our meeting to order and Carol led us in singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat To TOPS”.   We said our TOPS & KOPS pledges.

We welcomed new member Laura H.

Sheryl led us in roll call & walking report. Twenty-three weighed in today and the chapter had a net gain of .08 lbs. Jan was the best loser of the week with a loss of 2.6 lbs. Congratulations Jan.

Sheryl again 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.

Traci and John will be celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary on the 25th.

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

Robbie reported on the contest. She was able to draw a prize, there are still several who have three letters.

Sheryl reported on the voting on the t-shirt design. # 2 and #1 got the most votes but some wrote in variations like adding the fireworks to the back. There will be more discussion next week when more members are there.

Sheryl read the summer contest rules.  She will have copies and more information next week on this.

Sheryl received the Gold Star Chapter forms for 2019. One of the rules to apply for this award is the Chapter must have a NET LOSS recorded on their year end resume. We have been able to do this in the past but we are close to not being able to do this. More later from Marilyn and Carol on this.

Evans Drug came to give a program today on Aspirin for cardiovascular protection.

There is a risk factor in taking aspirin daily to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Every one needs to discuss this with their doctor to see if the benefits out way the risks for each individual.

Thank You Evans Drugs for the informative programs you do for us.

With no other business meeting was adjourned with our motto “IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME”.
