The Weight of the Fox Valley has been
established to help community members achieve and maintain a healthy weight at
every age. It is a three-county
initiative to address obesity and being overweight in Calumet, Outagamie and Winnebago
counties. As of right now the program
offers two different teams that you can join.
The first team is the Active Communities Action Team. Active community environments increase
resident’s physical activity by providing more opportunities to be active. The second team is the Worksite Action
Team. Worksites are prime settings to
implement healthy habits, since employed adults spend the majority of their
week at work. The Weight of the Fox
Valley would like us to spread the word.
They have a Facebook page they would like you to check out and
like. Again, you can join an action
team. If you are interested in joining
please contact Keren Rosenberg at keren.rosenberg@unitedwayfoxcities.org. Finally they would like you to take the
pledge. By taking the pledge you write
down one healthy change you are going to try and make in your life. If you were not able to attend the meeting on
October 28th please contact Keren at keren.rosenberg@unitedwayfoxcitites.org
and she will mail you a post card. For those of you who were able to attend you
will receive your reminder post card in a few weeks. You will be reminded of
your pledge you wrote down and see if you are still making that change or if
you have not started it is to remind you to make that healthy lifestyle
change. Weight of the Fox Valley wanted
to let members know that there is a meeting on December 11th at
Bridgewood Conference Center in Neenah about Community Health. Dr. Patrick Remington will be the key speaker. If you are interested please join.
