TOPS (week of March 6, 2019)

5 years ago

All is well here in Houlton — lots of snow, but we’ve held two meetings in a row, between snowstorms. TOPS Chapter 0233 met Friday, Feb. 22.

There were nine TOPS and four KOPS members present. The loser of the week was Denise Clark and the runner-up was Barbara Grant. Janette Nelson won the 50/50 and Barbara Grant won the skinny dish.

We’re entering the fourth week of our contest, with each part worth 40 points each.

Barbara Troy led us in fun and easy exercises. Jean Merritt presented the program on the importance of fat in our diet. It’s important to know the different types of fat, such as trans-fat and polyunsaturated. Especially solid oils should be avoided; if it is solid, it will remain solid in your arteries, but liquid will stay liquid as it moves through the body. Thank you, Jean, for a very informative program.
