TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S. Summer St, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, May 12, for their weekly weigh-in and meeting.
Linda Hall, Leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “My Body”
We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.
Linda led us in roll call and walking reports. Twenty-Six members weighed in, we had a Gain of 20.8 lbs. and a Loss of 11.4 lbs. resulting in a Net Gain of 9.4 lbs. Best loser for the week was a tie between Sharron and Constance each lost 1.2 lbs. Congratulations ladies!
Laura had the program today; she spoke on several items in recent TOPS Magazine issues. One was TOPS Lifesaver (Dec 2018). She reminded us what to do when a new prospective member comes in. Greet them with a smile and glad you’re here. Introduce yourself and other members. Make sure they get assigned to a new member coach. Laura suggested we as a group get nametags.
Laura then quizzed us on our knowledge of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. She told us it is important to eat fruits and veggies and exercise to maintain a healthy body. She then had each member draw two things from the basket; one was an activity suggestion, the other a healthy food suggestion. Each member commented on the ones they drew.
Contest report: Today we drew for the winners of the recent contest. Winner of the TOPS Portion was Warren. Winner of the KOPS portion was Laura. Congratulations to you both.
Marilyn will have a new contest for us next week.
In the meantime, the TOPS Summer Contest started on May 15. Look over the rules and bring any questions to the meeting next week
Prayer: Robbie continues to have problems, pray for quick healing so she can be back.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with Linda’s thought of the week:
“Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God.”
And our Chapter Motto: IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME.
