Take Off Pounds Sensibly #ME 0233 of Houlton met at the Aldergate building on High Street for its Friday, July 12 meeting.
Leader Diane Folsom had charge of the meeting at which 16 ladies were weighed. Three were KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) and the rest were TOPS. Roll call was given, reports were given by secretary Cheryl and weight recorder Joanne Scott.
Denise Clark distributed copies of the revised bylaws. The skinny dish was held over and Mildred Gagnon won the 50/50 drawing. Next week we will meet at the Tourist Information Center after weigh-in. We are asked to please bring a chair.
The program was on apples provided by Diane and we all were given an apple. There were Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Gala, Braeburn, and Granny Smith. Apples contain 80 calories; the fiber is in the skin of the apple. There are over 2,500 varieties of apples and 7,500 varieties in the world. The Pilgrims first planted apples.
For the previous week 13 TOPS and two KOPS attended. Brenda Lacostic was loser of the week with Frank Denty as runner-up. Diane won the 50/50 and a long time member won the skinny dish. Frank had the meeting and told of his exercise program.
The next meeting will be July 19. If you need more information about the chapter, you may call Charlotte Marley at 757-8483 or Betty Ivey at 532-9653.
Weigh-in is every Friday at 8-8:45 a.m. and the meeting starts at 9 and ends an hour later. Come, enjoy and take off weight; you’ll be glad you did.
