TOPS News for August 1, 2013

Eight TOPS and two KOPS were present at the August 1 meeting of Imperial TOPS NE0267. Judy was the best loser for the week, and Carolyn received a Kept-It-Off award.

The Yes-Yes for the week is to make healthy choices when eating out; the No-No is desserts sweetened with sugar. 

Carolyn and Karen W. will provide food for the Senior Center Dinner on Sunday, August 11. The chapter has been invited to a TOPS picnic in Grant on Monday, August 5 with the Grant and Ogallala TOPS chapters.

Karen S. presented an insightful program on the importance of writing your own memoirs. She suggested some memory prompts then asked the group to write five minutes on the memory. Writing your own story provides insights into your life your family might not have had otherwise.

Shirley will give the program on August 8, on “Faring Well at Summer Fairs.” Karen W. will present the program on August 15.

TOPS Club meets from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Imperial Community Center, with weigh-ins beginning at 8:30. For more information about TOPS, phone Cheryl at 883-0265 or go to www.tops.org or imperialnetops.blogspot.com. The first meeting is free.
