JULIE~~
Goodbye.......
A tough thing to say. We said goodbye to our leader, cheerleader, coach,mentor, friend~ Julie Swartz this last weekend. She has made a wise decision to leave the Saturday morning class to be able to "attend ball games and tend" to her family! She will be missed......terribly. We will all realize this very soon I am sure. Her new replacement Chris will be a fresh new start for some, maybe just what they need! Good luck Julie, and good luck to you Chris!

Thinking about losing weight this fall? Give Weight Watchers a try from Aug. 30 to Oct. 17 during their inaugural Lose for Good campaign. You will not only be helping yourself but countless others in the fight against hunger. Members are encouraged to bring canned and packaged food to meetings which will then be donated.
