SALLISAW TOPS

Members enjoy fun day

By Billie Anthony 

Monday we had 13 TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and one KOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) in attendance today. We had a chapter weight loss of 11.6 pounds, a gain of 8.1 pounds with a net loss of 3.5 pounds this week. Good job Members! Our new member, DM, had the best weight loss of 2.6 pounds this past week. Great first week, DM! Willene’s name was drawn for the Two Bit Bowl, but looks like we will have to wait until next week. Our Lucky Lotto contest began today. A new Surprise Box was donated by Donna. A suggestion was made for the Surprise Box to be donated by the person who last won the box. So we will see how the new winner will pay it forwards in the future. We were to begin our Ladder Contest but I left it at home, so we will start the new Ladder contest next Monday. Our Chapter Challenge this coming week is to drink more water. Lynda will bring the program next week.

I read the email from our coordinator, Randy. He sent out information about the State Recognition Day coming up in April. SRD will be held in Springfield, Missouri. Chapters from Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas will be in attendance. Sallisaw will be represented by our coleader, Lynda. Thank you, Lynda for planning on making the trek to Springfield.

Monday was the last weigh in of the month for us, so that is our chapter fun day in which we play games or learn a new craft or weight loss recipe. We had two tables of members playing Mexican dominoes or Train that some people call it. During our chapter fun day is a good time for the members to get to know one another better.

March 8, we plan on going to Poteau and meet with several chapters to encourage one another and give out chapter awards for best weight loss, best exerciser, best walker and food diary. The helping hand trophy will also be handed out. The theme for the Southeast Area Gathering will be ‘Favorite Character Movie Night’. Lunch will be provided. We are to dress like our favorite actress or actor. Sallisaw will have at least eight members attending.

Beginning Jan. 1, TOPS CLUB INC. membership will increase to $70 a year for first time member, $60 a year for first time renewal member and $48 for second or more renewal members.

We meet at First Christian Church, 706 N Wheeler, Sallisaw, Monday at 10:00am-12pm. We begin weighing at 10 a.m. and the meeting starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 12. For more info, please call Billie at 918-413-1383. We look forward to meeting you.
