TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Grace Methodist Church, 201 E Broadway on Thursday, Sept. 24, for their weekly weigh-in and meeting.

Susan reminded us the new contest starts with next week’s weigh-in. All you have to do is weigh in and lose weight. Each week you lose you get a ticket with your name on it to drop in a jar. At the first meeting of December a drawing will be held and if your ticket is drawn you will be the winner of the BEAUTIFUL Christmas Tree Shirt that Susan made. KOPS must be at goal or in leeway to get a ticket put in the jar.

ARD: We will go over who is riding with who at next week’s meeting so to be sure no one is without a ride. Remember, bring your lunch and any drinks you may want. Nothing will be provided at the meeting.  I will attempt to print out directions for those who are driving and may not have access to Google maps.

Again, the address is: Benson Convention & Exposition Center, 1008 E. Sedalia Ave., Clinton.

Marble Game: Judy K won the right to draw but did not get the winning one. Pot was at $,16.50.

Susan led us in roll call and walking report. Twenty-two weighed in today we had a 10 lb. gain and a 12.2 loss leaving us with a 2.2 Net loss. Melissa lost 2.2, Jan lost 2.2 Sue C 1.8 and Sandi was our best loser with a loss of 3.4 lbs.

Linda H printed out the chart of good for your foods Carolyn provided with her program last week. See Susan if you want a copy.

Program today was provided by Margie. We practiced the skit we will be doing at ARD. It is VERY cute and will be fun. We have so many talented people in our chapter.

With no other business meeting was adjourned with the quote of the day. “Know when to talk.  Know when to be silent. Know when to observe. Awareness is a sacred gift.”
