TOPS News

Submitted By Terrie Azotea

 

Well, we have been busy the last couple of weeks at TOPS. I will start our with two weeks ago; our best loser was John and our KOPS was Peggy. Awesome job guys! And we had some runners up, so Kudos to those who had a weight loss.

 

We had an auction with many nice gifts that went around the room.

This past week our best loser was Sue B. and our KOPS was Barbara. Nice job ladies!! Kudos to those who were runners up. We had a 6.6 net loss and with that I say, “awesome” because we all know how hard it is, especially with a long holiday weekend and all the cookouts.

 

Our Miss. Angels are Suzie and Irene. Come on ladies, almost there. We would like to welcome every one to come on out and check out our yard sale on June 7th, across the street from the Berekah. We will have many items there for you to look at. We have an Inspiration Workshop coming up on June 14. Those are usually a good time.

 

Our winners of the contest are Suzie and Irene.We all know that it’s the beginning of the summer months, and with that there are parties and cookouts and that when we need to really pay attention on what we put in our mouths, we tend to do meaningless eating. So, stay focused and on track.

 

Our program this past week was on “know yourself, share something about yourself, and be proud.” We were each handed a question and we had to answer it about ourselves. It was really nice to get to know each other a little bit more

 

At TOPS we are a support group that help each other lose weight and be a friend. If anyone would like to join us, we meet on Tuesday nights on Fairview Rd. at the Berekah at 5:30 for weigh-in and at 6:30 for our meeting.

 

Any questions, please call Janis White at 491-5532 or Claire Coll at 435-7271, and they will be happy to answer any. We welcome new faces anytime! Hope everyone has a good week, and see you all lighter next week!

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

On behalf of the Pittsfield Post Office, we would like to say thank you for all your food donations throughout Pittsfield, Chichester, Epsom and those who brought food in from Barnstead.

 

Thanks to all of you, others will benefit and be able to feed their families during hardship. Thank you to the Globe for posting the food drive on your sign on Rte. 28. Remember that you can donate anytime at your local food pantry. Thank you.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Thank you, Jim Pritchard, for your letter last week’s Suncook Sun defending Ted Mitchell’s request for donations to support his town beautification activities.

 

Now, I’m not much of a glower guy, but over the last several years I have been stopped while entering the Town Hall by the fragrant and beautiful purple and white flowers.

 

Ted is part of a group of people who continually work to make our downtown look as good as it does.

 

Ted was recognized as volunteer of the year by the Pittsfield Listens group.

 

Ted works on many committees in Pittsfield. He supports anything good for our town. He grew up here, and came back to retire here and care for his mother.

 

Ted has made a difference, leads by example, and works hard to improve our town. If we can, let’s help him.
