2014
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the East Falmouth TOPS chapter!
Here is an overview of a month of meetings:
First week of the month: monthly awards & fooducate
Second week of the month: share recipes and articles.
Third week of the month: KOPS sharing
Fourth week of the month: skits
2013 Chapter Queen is Dara B.!
To be a Chapter Queen, a member must have reached their goal by December 31, and lost the most weight since joining TOPS.
2013 Division Awards
Division 3 First Place: Doris Mc., lost 25.4 pounds
Division 4 First Place: Lil H., lost 20 pounds
What equals 142 years? That is the total collective years that our Chapter's KOPS members have achieved in maintaining their weight.
During the KOPS Anniversary and Re-Dedication Ceremony the following members were awarded pins and a flower to commemorate their success in Keeping Off Pounds Sensibly. A candle lighting ceremony followed the awards.
Lois C., 3 years
Ruth C., 4 years
Roz L., 5 years
Claudia M., 7 years
Louise S., 10 years
Barbara P., 11 years
Jeannine C., 20 years
Betty M., 22 years
Ginny P., 25 years
Harriet C., 35 years
As you read this list, you'll notice that these KOPS come to meetings regularly, and many of them keep a food chart each week. For Harriet C., that is 1,820 weeks of food charts! She started as a TOPS member, just like you.
Congratulations to all of you! You are an inspiration to those of us that are working to achieve KOPS status.
