Members lost a total of 13 pounds in the week ending April 21 at the Wa-Rite Club. The club also welcomed new member Carol Darnell.

The meeting’s Top Loser title went to Ruth Depuy who lost an amazing 4 pounds.That’s a lot of butterflies in the club’s April Showers Bring May Flowers Contest, which ends May 5. Winners will receive cash prizes in addition to bragging rights.

The meeting discussion focused on mental health and aging.

Club President Judy Chambers presented “Reframing How You Look at Failure.”

The information gave strategies on how to acknowledge setbacks and increase opportunities for success as people move on from them.

Members range from those maintaining their “ideal” weight to those working toward that goal.

Women interested in better health, more energy and some light-hearted cameraderie are enthusiastically welcomed.

Wa-Rite meets every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh in is from 9:15-9:45 a.m.

The meeting runs from 1011 a.m.
