Happy Losers

On May 26, the Happy Losers met at the Congreational Church vestry for their weekly meeting. Our leader opened our meeting with our pledge and roll call. We had eleven ladies weigh-in and eight attended our class. Jeanne Watson was the person who lost the most weight for the week. Jackie Pratt was runner-up. Great job ladies!
Reports were given by our secretary and treasuer for the week. Dotty Rand led the program for the week. Her topic was on an article called Slimming With Water. Meeting was great and always interesting and informative. The contest is still going on and the Cherry Blossoms are ahead so far.
