The Lunch Bunch

I have registered our team for the Walk From Obesity. Go to www.walkfromobesity.com and select the walk in Nashville. You will see a link to join the group. We had talked about walking as a group and then having lunch together downtown. Let's officially register as a group and proclaim who we are. There is a $25 fee to register but that gets you the official "Walk" t-shirt and the goodie bag that will be filled with all kinds of neat stuff. Only registered participants get the shirt and goodie bag. I have set our team goal at $500 but we can do better than that! Once you register, contact your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers and ask them to sponsor you with a donation. Their donation is tax deductible and the monies raised will be used to increase awareness and help educate and treat obesity. This year's focus is the dramatic rise of obesity and it's co-morbidities in children. I will have more information for you as the planning continues at the local level. Shelia and I are both on the planning committee and, I can tell you, there are some neat things in the works.

Susan,    Thank you so much and Sheila too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have signed up tonite and sent out a few emails.    I'am hoping Tina will join me(us) that day.

Thanks, Susan!  Count me in.  Maybe I can get my daughter to join me, too. Freddie

I'm all signed up and ready to go!!! Looking forward to this!

Susan, I would very much like to join your group for the Walk from Obesity. Is the $25 fee required to register on the site? If so I am going to have to wait to register. Also, I would like to join the group for the August lunch now that I am settled in Nashville. Would it be okay to bring my 18 yr old daughter with me? She is leaving for college on the 17th and I want to spend as much time with her as possible while she's here. Thanks, Karen

Yes, the $25 fee is required to register on the site. Shelia will be posting the location for the August luncheon. I will be in Atlanta for a ladies church retreat and will have to miss this one. The first one I have missed! Your daughter is definitely welcome. We always welcome "support" people whether they are family or friends. I'll look forward to meeting you in September.

Thanks Susan! I look forward to meeting you in September too. I will register for the walk on Friday

I look forward to meeting you and I will be posting something this weekend to finalize the plans for our Lunch Bunch Meeting!!  Please bring your daughter, Freddie may bring her 16 year old daughter as well and they can meet too!!! Welcome to the TN Board,  Shelia

Hey Everyone!!!   I signed up today   and I am so looking forward to this walk as it will be my first and it holds a very special place in my heart  !!!  By the way, the Nashville Walk is one of 4 "Pilot Cities"   that will be focusing on Childhood Obesity     and many of us can relate to this in some form or another!!!   I just wanted to also extend the invitation   to anyone that is unable to attend the walk, please feel free to sponsor one of the Lunch Bunch Team Members   , because every donation helps to fight Obesity.  If you choose to donate, you do not have to let anyone know how much or who gave, it is the whole point of raising money to raise Awareness of Childhood Obesity and Obesity in general.  So look into your hearts and support someone if you are unable to walk and pass this information on to everyone you know, this is our fight and we must unite to take a stand   !!   I would love for you to join our team   if you are able too!!! Try the following web address to join or support!!  http://walkfromobesity.org   Thanks,  Shelia Bess and those that you help to Walk FROM Obesity
