The April 24 meeting was the clubs share day. Members learned that they lost a total of 16.5 pounds with Darken Gardner as the biggest loser. She lost 3 pounds by eating less and making healthier choices.

Bev Bender stepped in due to President Judy Chambers’ absence, and asked everyone to find something positive to say on the club’s share day. Most members talked about how much the love and support of fellow club members means to them, and the friendships they cultivated since becoming members. Some talked about how easy and wonderful it is living in Leisure World, while others talked about loving the sentiment of how everyone is rooting for them whether they gain or lose weight.

The weekly food for thought was: “Too much of a good thing is wonderful,” a quote from Mae West.
